I've been given 3 different cartoon drawings that are meant to be humorous and relate to one of Newton's 3 laws of motion, inertia, definition of force and reciprocity. I was just wondering if somebody could help me figure out which cartoon relates to which law of motion.
Picture #1 shows a man driving a Toyota with his feet popping out the front of the vehicle, he seems to be trying to slow the car down with his feet, indicated by two long parallel crevices in the road directly behind his feet
Picture #2 shows a many with a mustache, a monocle and top hat, taking a large stride with his foremost foot about to land on a banana peel, no doubt suggesting that he will slip. He is also swinging his walking stick which in the picture is half way through a full 360 degree spin.
Picture #3 shows a worm stuck in a tug of war between two birds. The worm is saying "Great... Even if I survive, I'll probably have to be recalibrated..."
So just wondering if anybody knows which picture relates to which one of Newton's laws of motion and why.

Hmm i'm not sure interesting way to ask questions though
the first picture probably is Newton's 1st Law?
i.e. Every object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless a net external force acts on it to change its state of rest or uniform motion. (which also relates to inertia the reluctance of the body to change from its initial state?) So his feet in this sense can be the external force creating friction to slow the car down?
2nd picture may be the 2nd law
the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the net external force acting on it and occurs in the direction of the force
So perhaps landing on the banana peel will cause a change in momentum which is given by p = (mv-mu)/t where m = mass of object, v= final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time and p = momentum
so that leaves picture 3 with the last law?
When object B exerts a force on object A, object A will exert the same type of force that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction on object B.
I'm not really sure though..
