Question

question 2 (1 point)
determine if the example is newtons 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law.
a train comes to a
sudden stop, but all of
the passengers
continue to move
forward. #2
a newtons first law
b newtons second law
c newtons third law

Explanation:

Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Here, the train stops (external force acts on it), but passengers continue moving forward (due to their inertia, as no immediate external force stops them at the same time as the train). Newton's Second Law is about \(F = ma\) (force, mass, acceleration relationship) and Third Law is about action - reaction pairs. This example fits the First Law.

Answer:

a. Newton's First Law
