Question

select the correct answer. which sentence states newtons third law? a. if two objects collide, each object exerts a force in the same direction as the other. b. if two objects collide, each object exerts a force equal to and in the opposite direction of the other. c. a collision between a moving object and a stationary object is elastic. d. a collision between a moving object and a stationary object is inelastic. e. if two objects collide, the moving object exerts a greater force than the stationary object.

Explanation:

Newton's third - law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two objects collide, they exert equal - magnitude forces on each other in opposite directions.

Answer:

B. If two objects collide, each object exerts a force equal to and in the opposite direction of the other
