Checking examples of Newton's three laws of motion

[xLuvux]

a) A shirt left on your bedroom floor is still there after 2 days. (Newton's 1 law)

b) You run into your friend while ice-skating, & you both fall in opposite directions. (3rd law)

c) The horse you're riding trips on a tree stump & stops quickly, & you fly forward. (1st law)

d) A baseball continues rolling until it hits the fence. (1st law)

e) You hit a tennis ball w/ a tennis racket & the tennis ball sails over the net. (3rd law)

f) A person jumps off a diving board. (3rd law)

g) A swimmer swims through the water. (3rd law)

h) F=ma (Newton's 2nd law) Can someone please check if I'm correct. Thank you.

they all look right to me.

There is more than one correct answer here. Here is my take:

a) A shirt left on your bedroom floor is still there after 2 days. (Newton's 1 law)

No net force: First law.

b) You run into your friend while ice-skating, & you both fall in opposite directions. (3rd law)

Net force down + collision: Second and third laws.

c) The horse you're riding trips on a tree stump & stops quickly, & you fly forward. (1st law)

No net force (ignoring gravity): First law.

d) A baseball continues rolling until it hits the fence. (1st law)

No net force (ignoring friction): First law.

e) You hit a tennis ball w/ a tennis racket & the tennis ball sails over the net. (3rd law)

Impulse imparted to ball by racket: I = Δp = FΔt; Second law.

f) A person jumps off a diving board. (3rd law)

Impulse imparted to diver by diving board: I = Δp = FΔt; Diver goes up and gravity brings diver down. Second law.

g) A swimmer swims through the water. (3rd law)

Swimmer's body pushes back on water moving water backward and swimmer forward; swimmer meets fluid resistance exactly equal to push of swimmer's body on water; 0 net force so swimmer moves at constant speed through water. First and third laws apply.

h) F=ma (Newton's 2nd law)

Second law if f≠0, but first law if f = 0;AM
