Question

A. Newton's First Law of Motion
B. Newton's Second Law of Motion
C. Newton's Third Law of Motion

1. When riding the bumper cars at the fair, you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards.
2. A ball is rolling straight across the floor until Bradley kicks it.
3. A bowling ball and a baseball both roll across your foot at the same speed. The bowling ball hurts much more.
4. Your car breaks down. As your friends help you push it, it begins to move and speed up.

Answer 1

Here are the key terms and their associations based on the provided scenarios:

A. Newton's First Law of Motion

• 2. A ball is rolling straight across the floor until Bradley kicks it. (An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.)

B. Newton's Second Law of Motion

• 4. Your car breaks down. As your friends help you push it, it begins to move and speed up. (This law relates force, mass, and acceleration – the more force applied, the more acceleration occurs.)
• 3. A bowling ball and a baseball both roll across your foot at the same speed. The bowling ball hurts much more. (This illustrates how mass affects the impact of an object.)

C. Newton's Third Law of Motion

• 1. When riding the bumper cars at the fair, you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards. (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.)

So the correct associations are as follows:

• A: 2
• B: 3, 4
• C: 1
