What is Newton’s first law of motion?
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 a net external force
Define Mass?
The amount of matter in an object, independent of its size or any forces acting on the object. Both a property of a physical object and how resistant an object is to acceleration.
What is Newton’s second law of motion?
the acceleration and net external force are directly proportional, and there is an inversely proportional relationship between acceleration and mass.
What is Newton’s third law of motion?
whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
What is the equal and opposite force for the force of the skier’s friction pushing on the mountain as described by Newton’s third law?
Friction of the mountain on the skier in the opposite direction
What is the equal and opposite force for the force of the horse pulling forward on the wagon as described by Newton’s third law?

What is the equal and opposite force for the force of the elevator floor pushing up on the person as described by Newton’s third law?
Person pushes down on the floor
What is the equal and opposite force for the force of the monkey pulling on the rope as described by Newton’s third law?
