Question
what is equal and opposite to the applied force on a spring? (1 point)
equilibrium
spring force
displacement
spring constant
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a force is applied to a spring (action), the spring exerts a force (spring force) that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied force (reaction). Equilibrium is a state, displacement is a change in position, and spring constant is a measure of a spring's stiffness, none of which are forces equal and opposite to the applied force.
