Question

according to newtons third law of motion, if you push against a wall, the wall will _______.
a. attract you with its low gravity
b. fall over once you overcome its inertia
c. push against you with equal force
d. heat up due to energy transfer

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push against a wall (action force), the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on you (reaction force). Option A is incorrect as gravity is not related to this interaction in this context. Option B is wrong because a wall's inertia and falling over are not related to Newton's third law here. Option D is incorrect as heat transfer is not the result of this force interaction. So the correct answer is C.

Answer:

C. push against you with equal force
