Critique the following statement as True or False, based on Newton's first Law (AKA the Law of Inertia):Two students are riding in sports car. One student, Mary, is sitting in the back seat of the car and is not wearing a seat belt, and the other student, Joe, is driving the car at a high speed. The car is traveling forward (LaTeX: \longrightarrow) when Joe suddenly applies the brakes. Mary flies backward (LaTeX: \longleftarrow) against the back seat (but thankfully does not get hurt).Group of answer choicesTRUEFALSE

Sagot :

The given statement is False.

Newton's first law states that a body at rest or on a uniform motion tends to stay in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

When Joe suddenly applies brakes, Mary who was moving along with the car does not experience the same braking force as the seat and tends to keep in her state of motion. That is, Mary will move forward as before and not backwards.

Thus, the given statement is false.
