This is more than one question but short and simple. I amreally stuck on these practice questions and need helpunderstanding. I would really appreciate it and give thumbsup.
Which of the following observations would be adequatelyexplained by Newton's third law?
a) When turning a corner, a passenger in a car feels pushedagainst the door.
b) The friction of a surface causes a sliding object tocome to rest.
c) A car's tires slip on an ice-covered surface.
d) One skater pushes against another and both move off inopposite directions.
e) The Earth is held in orbit around the Sun by agravitational force of attraction.
2. A rocket accelerates upward and the thrust of theengines overcome the frictional forces and the gravity actingagainst the rocket. Which of Newton's laws of motion best explainsthis situation?
a) Newton's law of universal gravitation
b) newton's first law
c) newton's second law
d) newton's third law
e) none of the laws explain this situation
3. A hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding south along theice and slows at a rate of 1.2 m/s². What is the net force actingon the puck?
a) 1.8 x 10-1 N [N]
b) 1.8 x 10^2 N [N]
c) 1.9 x 10-1 N [S]
d) 1.8 x 10^2 N [S]
e) 1.8 x 1061 N [N]
4. A heavy crate is pushed across a rough surface. Theforce that is ultimately responsible for the crate's motion isthe:
A) gravitational force
b) applied force
c) net force
d) normal force
e) frictional force
5. Which of the following would Newton's first law alone NOTaccount for?
a) Passengers on board an elevator undergoing uniformmotion can't tell that the elevator is really moving.
b) A passenger leans forward in her seat when the car'sbrakes are applied.
c) During the launch, astronauts feel that they are beingpushed back into their seats.
d) No matter how hard you push against it, the boulderwould not move.
e) A rocket accelerates upward from a launch pad and theengines' thrust overcomes gravity.
