Question

1. when two cars get into an accident and end up in locations not close to an accident m this is an example of newtons ______ law a. 1st b. 2nd c. 3rd d. 4th 22. which direction does friction act with respect to motion? a. the same direction as the object b. it pulls it down c. the opposite direction as the object d. friction does not occur between objects

Explanation:

• For question 21: Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When two cars collide (an unbalanced force acts), their motion changes (they end up in new locations), which is in line with the concept of inertia (Newton's 1st Law). Newton's 2nd Law is about \(F = ma\) (force, mass, acceleration relationship). Newton's 3rd Law is about action - reaction forces. There is no Newton's 4th Law.
• For question 22: Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. So it acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object. Option a is wrong because it's not in the same direction. Option b is incorrect as it's not about pulling down (that's more related to gravity in some cases). Option d is wrong because friction does occur between objects.

Answer:

1. a. 1st
2. c. The opposite direction as the object
