the trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the car pulling the trailer (force exerted by the car on the trailer). The reaction, according to the law, must be a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. That is, the trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the opposite direction.

Answer:

The trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the opposite direction.
