Newton's Third Law States:

F=ma

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

A regularly occurring or apparently inevitable phenomenon observable in human society.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will start moving on its own.

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion slows down over time.

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion will change direction spontaneously.

Newton's First Law of Motion 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 external force.

Explain the difference between static and kinetic friction.

Static friction is the friction between two surfaces that are sliding past each other.

Static friction is the friction between two surfaces that are not moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction is the friction between two surfaces that are sliding past each other.

Kinetic friction is the friction between two surfaces that are not moving relative to each other.

Static friction is the friction between two surfaces that are moving relative to each other.

Define balanced forces and provide an example.

Balanced forces are forces that are unequal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and same in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion. An example of balanced forces is a book resting on a table.

An example of balanced forces is a car accelerating on a highway.
