Question

a. ted is jumping on a trampoline. the more he pushes on the trampoline, the higher he is thrust into the air. which of newtons laws is most apparent in this situation?
clear all
newtons 3rd law
newtons 1st law
newtons universal law of gravitation
newtons 2nd law

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Ted pushes on the trampoline (action force), the trampoline pushes back on Ted (reaction force), which is why he is thrust into the air. Newton's 1st Law is about an object's state of motion (rest or uniform motion) unless a force acts on it. Newton's 2nd Law is about the relationship between force \(F = ma\) (mass and acceleration). Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation is about the gravitational force between two masses \(F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^{2}}\). In this jumping - on - trampoline scenario, the action - reaction pair (Ted pushing on trampoline and trampoline pushing on Ted) is most related to Newton's 3rd Law.

Answer:

Newton's 3rd Law
