question 5 (1 point)
in order to lift a bucket of concrete, you must pull up harder on the bucket than the bucket pulls down on you.
a) true
b) false

Explanation:

According to Newton's third - law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you pull up on the bucket, the bucket pulls down on you with an equal force. The upward force you need to apply to lift the bucket is to overcome the force of gravity acting on the bucket, not to exceed the force the bucket exerts on you.

Answer:

b) False
