Question

multiple - choice question
if cow 1 is pushing on cow 2 with 10 n how much is cow 2 pushing on cow 1?
depends on the mass of the cows
10 n
5 n
8 n

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When cow 1 pushes on cow 2 with a force of 10 N (action), cow 2 pushes back on cow 1 with an equal force of 10 N (reaction). The mass of the cows is not relevant here as the law only concerns the magnitudes of the interacting forces.

Answer:

B. 10 N
