Question

water in a pan splashes to the right when the pan moves to the left because: of inertia, the water resists the change in motion and stays in place as the pan moves. the water is attracted to the right side of the pan. gravity pulls the water to the right when the pan moves. the pan pushes the water to the right intentionally.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion (law of inertia), an object at rest or in uniform motion will remain in that state unless acted upon by an external force. When the pan moves to the left, the water, due to its inertia, resists the change in motion and tends to stay in its original position. This causes the water to splash to the right relative to the moving pan.

Answer:

1. of inertia, the water resists the change in motion and stays in place as the pan moves.
