Question

while on vacation, maura tries paragliding for the first time. she paraglides due east over a valley. match each of newtons laws of motion to the statement it best describes. newtons first law of motion newtons second law of motion newtons third law of motion maura continues gliding east until the wind pushes her further north. the stronger the wind is, the more maura will accelerate. as maura readjusts her orientation, the lines of the glider pull on her hands with the same force that her hands pull on the lines.

Explanation:

Newton's first law (law of inertia) states an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an un - balanced force. Maura gliding east until the wind pushes her north shows this. Newton's second law is $F = ma$, meaning force is proportional to acceleration. The stronger the wind (force), the more Maura accelerates. Newton's third law states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Maura readjusts, the glider lines and her hands exert equal forces on each other.

Answer:

Newton's first law of motion: Maura continues gliding east until the wind pushes her further north.
Newton's second law of motion: The stronger the wind is, the more Maura will accelerate.
Newton's third law of motion: As Maura readjusts her orientation, the lines of the glider pull on her hands with the same force that her hands pull on the lines.
