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. F=ma
