A. Newton's Third Law of Motion.
B. Newton's First Law of Motion.
C. an action-reaction pair.

Answer 1

"This is an exmple of:"

E. A very badly written physics problem



The problem makes no sense. It says the child starts out at rest (a speed of 0). How can the child continue moving forward at a the original speed of 0. A speed of 0 has no direction.

Answer 2

B, but you forgot to add the boy remains in the same place he was originally standing in the bus while the bus accelerated.

He only flies forward as the bus then slows down.

Newton's 1st., "A mass in motion tends to remain in motion.........."
