How can Newton’s laws explain why the brain is in danger of injury when there is impact to the head?(1 point) Responses The blood vessels of the brain expand, so more blood flows to the brain. The blood vessels of the brain expand, so more blood flows to the brain. The blood vessels of the brain shrink, so less blood flows to the brain. The blood vessels of the brain shrink, so less blood flows to the brain. The brain is fixed in one place inside the skull and cannot move away from the impact. The brain is fixed in one place inside the skull and cannot move away from the impact. The brain moves inside the skull with a force equal and opposite to that of the impact.

The correct response is: "The brain moves inside the skull with a force equal and opposite to that of the impact."
This aligns with Newton's laws of motion, particularly the first law (an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force). When there is an impact to the head, the skull may stop abruptly while the brain, which is a separate mass, continues to move until it comes into contact with the inner surface of the skull, resulting in potential injury.
