Q

If a car crashes how does newtons first law apply

A

When a car crashes, Newton’s First Law applies. The car stops suddenly, but the people inside keep moving forward because of inertia. This is because objects in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force — like a seatbelt or airbag.

Q

explain what is meant by acceleration due to gravity and provide it’s approximate value on Earth

A

Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which objects fall towards Earth because of its gravitational pull. On Earth, it is approximately 9.8 m/s², meaning an object’s speed increases by 9.8 metres per second every second as it falls
