b. Second law (force = mass x acceleration)
c. Third law (action = reaction) Answer:

A ball on a string swung around faster and faster until finally the
string snaps is an example of
a. First law (inertia)
b. Second law (force = mass x acceleration) <----
c. Third law (action = reaction)

Answer 1

c (action has equal and opposite reaction), b (wind is a force), and a (inertia because an object in motion has a tendancy to stay in motion)
