You are skateboarding and push back with one leg, and, as a result, the skateboard moves forward. Which law of motion is being described in this scenario?

anonymous · Answer

Law of Inertia 

 Newton's Second Law of Motion 

 Newton's Third Law of Motion 

 Newton's First Law of Motion

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Newton's First Law of Motion is summarized by saying that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by another force.
This can apply to something at rest. An object will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Wait a minute, law of inertia and the First Law is the same thing. :3

anonymous · Answer

Hmm

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Hold on. I could be totally wrong about this. Tbh, all the laws are demonstrated here. ._.

anonymous · Answer

Dang it

anonymous · Answer

I appreciate the help!

ipwnbunnies · Answer

I hate this question. I'll just go with the law of inertia. An object won't be in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

No prob.
