Review each scenario listed in Data Table 1. Record the net force (0 or nonzero) of each scenario in Data Table 1. Explain why the net force is 0 or nonzero for each scenario and record in Data Table 1. Record the Newton’s law of motion (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) that is best demonstrated by each scenario in Data Table 1. Explain in detail how each scenario demonstrates Newton’s law of motion in action in Data Table 1.

Note: Remember that normal force and gravitational force are not action/reaction pairs because they are two different type of forces. Newton’s first law is typically applied to objects at rest when the forces are balanced; whereas Newton’s second law is commonly applied to scenarios in which the forces are not balanced.

I understand the data table is hard to read, so I will copy and paste each scenario below:

A book sitting on a table
A puck sliding across frictionless ice
A child sitting on a merry-go- round turning at constant speed
A man leaning against a wall
A rock falling at constant terminal velocity
A car driving around a curve at a constant speed of 40 mph
A man pushing a box across a frictionless surface
A soccer ball placed on the grass
Air inside and outside of an inflated balloon
