mass and acceleration

200

What happens when a 50kg person and a 90kg person are on scooters and push off of eachother?

They will move in opposite directions and the 50kg person will move farther

300

Why does earth orbit the sun instead of the sun orbiting earth?

because the sun has a larger mass

When I throw a ball at the table why does it bounce?

Because the table exerts and equal but opposite force on the ball making it bounce

Explain in terms of Newton's First Law what will happen to the microwave on top of the car when the car stops.

It will slide forwards because it has inertia and wants to keep moving.

While driving down the road, a firefly strikes the windshield of a bus and makes a big mess right in front of the driver! the firefly hit the bus and the bus hit the firefly. Which of the two forces are greater: the force on the firefly or the force on the bus?

Neither! The forces are equal and opposite.
