Consider an unrestrained crate full of bowling balls at rest in the bed of a pickup truck. When the truck accelerates forward, the crate appears to slide backward towards the rear of the bed. Interpret this observation in terms of Newton’s First Law.

 

You are on a trip to the Moon and have no apparent weight. You
are handed two identically sized boxes, one filled with ping pong balls
and the other with steel free weights. How can you tell which is which
without opening them? (Hint: Use Newton’s Laws to explain your
ideas)
