A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes and the glasses
Newton's 1st Law
Newton's 2nd Law
Newton's 3rd Law
Answer explanation
Newton's 1st Law states that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force. The magician quickly pulls the tablecloth, allowing the dishes to remain in place due to inertia.

A soccer ball accelerates faster than a bowling ball when the same amount of force is applied
Newton's 1st Law
Newton's 2nd Law
Newton's 3rd Law
Answer explanation
According to Newton's 2nd Law, acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass (F=ma). A soccer ball has less mass than a bowling ball, so it accelerates faster when the same force is applied.
