Question

question 18 (1 point) determine if the example is newtons 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law. the ski poles go back as the skier is pushed forward. #22 a newtons first law b newtons second law c newtons third law

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the skier pushing the ski poles backward (action) results in the skier being pushed forward (reaction). This is a classic example of the action - reaction pair described by Newton's Third Law. Newton's First Law is about an object's state of motion (rest or uniform motion) unless acted on by a force. Newton's Second Law is about the relationship between force \(F = ma\) (mass and acceleration). Since this example is about an action - reaction pair, it is not related to the first or second law.

Answer:

c. Newton's Third Law
