16/19

According to Newtons Third Law, theaction of the water shooting forward outof the hose would cause the reaction ofthe hose moving backward. Therefore,

the firefighters must apply a force tohold the hose in place.

17/19

Newtons First Law explains that before thefirefighters turn on the water, the hose is atrest and will remain at rest until a force isapplied to it. However, this does not explain

why the hose would move backward.

8/2/2019 Newton Laws of Motion Jeopardy

18/19

Newtons Second Law would explain howincreasing the force of the water shootingforward would increase the acceleration of thehose backward, but does not explain why thehose would move backward.
