question 17 (1 point)
determine if the example is newtons 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law.
it takes less force to move a bicycle than a motorcycle.
a newtons first law
b newtons second law
c newtons third law

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration). A bicycle has less mass than a motorcycle. For the same acceleration, since \(F\) is proportional to \(m\) (when \(a\) is constant), a smaller - mass object (bicycle) requires less force. Newton's First Law is about an object's state of motion (rest or uniform motion) unless acted on by a force. Newton's Third Law is about action - reaction pairs.

Answer:

b. Newton's Second Law
