Question

3) A defense football player on one team tackles the other team’s quarterback, who is running down the field. The quarterback is pushed to the ground by the defensive player. 4) apply Newton’s first law to explain what happened?

Answer 1

Newton's first law says that an object at rest tends to stay at rest while an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force so the amount of force behind the defensive football player (N) was greater than the quarterback's so he was able to over power him which is also called unbalanced forces

Answer 2

The force generated by the defensive player has more magnitude and as such would push the quarterback to the ground.

A force can be defined as a push or pull of an object (body), which typically results in a change of motion due to the interaction of the object (body) with another.

Newton's First Law of Motion is also referred to as Law of Inertia and it states that an object (body) in motion would continue in its state of motion at a continuous velocity (in the same speed and direction) or if at rest, it will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force.

In this context, an unbalanced force is generated by the quarterback and the defensive player, but the defensive player's force is an external force with more magnitude and as such would push the quarterback to the ground.

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, the quarterback was pushed to the ground due to an external force, generated by the defensive player.
