Question

You observe a fan that remains to move for a moment after you switch it off. Which of the following does this statement illustrate accurately?

• A. Newton's first law
• B. Newton's second law
• C. Newton's third law
• D. The principle of conservation of momentum

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Newton's first law

The observation of a fan continuing to move after being switched off illustrates Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that a body will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. This law applies when there is no net external force on the body
