An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest, causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different accelerations. This is an example best described by:
- Newton’s first law of motion for objects at rest.
- Newton’s first law of motion for objects in motion.
- Newton’s second law of motion.
- Newton’s third law of motion.

Back

Newton’s second law of motion.
