Answers:

· Initially when the man is holding the banana, the forces on it are balanced so its velocity is constant and zero
· Newton's Second Law
· When the man pushes the banana the forces on it are unbalanced so it accelerates to the left
· Newton's First Law
· When the banana is in mid flight, the forces on it are balanced so it moves with a constant positive velocity to the left
· Newton's Second Law
· When the banana hits the man's teeth the forces on it are unbalanced so it accelerates to the right (ie. it decelerates)
· Newton's First Law
· When the man catches the banana, the forces on it are balanced so its velocity is constant and zero
