Which situation illustrates newton's first law?
a.
a person slides forward on the seat of a car when the car comes to a sudden stop.
b.
water splashes from a bucket when it is moved quickly from a resting position.
c.
blood rushes from your head to your feet when riding on a descending elevator which suddenly stops.
d.
all of the above.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
