Match the following Law of motion with the correct example

• Roll a ball across smooth/rough surfaces. The ball rolls faster on smooth because less fiction

• Newton's 3rd of motion

• Hit a ball with 2 different forces, the ball will have greater acceleration due to larger force

• Newton's 1st law of motion

• Bouncing the ball on the court is the action, the floor pushing the ball back up is the reaction

• Newton's 2nd law of motion
