a)Law of inertia
b) Law of conservation of momentum
c)Law of conservation of energy
d) Universal law of gravitation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is universal law of gravitation

Answer 2

Answer:

The law which explains that, "Athlete runs a certain distance before long jump" is the "Law of inertia".

Explanation:

• The first option out of the four choices state the law of inertia and it is the actual reason behind the running of the athlete before taking a long jump because when the athlete runs his body remains in forward motion until opposite force acts on it.
• The athlete uses this Law of Inertia of being in motion to trigger is long jump by applying force at the end of the run. So he lands up at a greater distance.
