Cynthia constructed a small device called a catapult shown below. The catapult is able to accelerate objects in order to propel them in a certain direction. After placing a small toy in the end of the spoon, she pulls back with her finger on the tip of the spoon to a point and releases.

She uses toys of the same shape and size, but different masses and compares how much each travels when released. Which of the following is Cynthia most likely trying to demonstrate with her device?
A.
Newton's universal law of gravitation
B.
Newton's third law of motion
C.
Newton's first law of motion
D.
