Answer:
Newton’s first law (i.e about inertia) is best shown in this example.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Newton's first law states that every object continues in its state either motion or rest until it is acted upon by any other external force.
- As the student is in motion when he/ she hits the patch of ice. as no external force is applied, he/she continues the motion by sliding over the ice due to inertia.
- Until the friction and other resistance force balances the motion he/she will not stop sliding.
