Work Force and Motion

The wings of a bird push the air downwards, creating an upward force that helps them move forward. This is an example of every action having an equal and opposite reaction. Which of Newton's Laws of Motion does this represent?

• First

• Second

• Third

• First and Third

Which statements are true about the motion of the wheelchair?

You must choose all of the correct answers.

• The greater the mass in the wheelchair, the more force that must be applied to move it

• When the nurse moves the wheelchair, the force of friction is applied in the same direction as the wheelchair moves

• A larger force applied by the nurse to move the wheelchair will result in a greater change in the motion

• If the nurse wants the wheelchair to move, the net forces applied must not be zero.
