Question

When coat/blanket is beaten by the stick, the dust particles are removed. This is an example of:

• A. Newton's first law of motion
• B. Newton's second law of motion
• C. Newton's third law of motion
• D. Newton's first law of gravitation

Hint:

Whenever dust, mud, or passengers tend to "remain at rest/move," it is an example of Newton's First Law of Inertia.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall Newton's first law. An object remains at rest unless acted upon by an external force (law of inertia). Step 2: Application. When the blanket is beaten, the blanket moves but the dust particles tend to remain at rest due to inertia, so they get separated. Step 3: Conclude. This is a clear example of Newton's first law of motion. \[ \boxed{\text{Newton's First Law of Motion}} \]
