Question

station 3
laws of motion
identify which law of motion fits the example below.
a dad throws a baseball faster and farther than his 8 - year - old son.
a. first law of motion
b. second law of motion
c. third law of motion

Explanation:

The second law of motion (F = ma) states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net - force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The dad can apply more force than the 8 - year - old son, resulting in greater acceleration and the baseball going faster and farther.

Answer:

B. Second Law of Motion
