Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each law and match with the scenarios:

Newton’s First Law (Inertia)

Objects in motion stay in motion (or at rest) unless a net force acts.

• Cricket ball moving in air: Once hit, it moves until air resistance/gravity act.
• Swimming: The swimmer moves forward due to inertia (and force from water, but inertia is key for motion continuation).

Newton’s Second Law (\( F = ma \), force causes acceleration)

Larger force → larger acceleration (for constant mass).

• Throwing a baseball with great force: More force → more acceleration (faster throw).
• Striking the tennis ball with great force: More force → ball accelerates more (faster/harder hit).
• Throwing a ball (general): Force applied causes acceleration (speed/direction change).

Newton’s Third Law (Action - Reaction)

For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

• Rugby players pushing each other: When one pushes, the other pushes back with equal force.
• Swimming (action - reaction): Swimmer pushes water backward (action), water pushes swimmer forward (reaction).

Final Matching:

• Newton’s first law of motion: Cricket ball moving in air, Swimming
• Newton’s second law of motion: Throwing a baseball with great force, Striking the tennis ball with great force, Throwing a ball
• Newton’s third law of motion: Rugby players pushing each other, Swimming (also for action - reaction in swimming)

(Note: Some scenarios may overlap slightly, but the above is the primary matching based on law definitions.)

If we list one per law (as an example):

• Newton’s first law: Cricket ball moving in air
• Newton’s second law: Throwing a baseball with great force
• Newton’s third law: Rugby players pushing each other
