Question

when someone jumps down on a trampoline, that person is propelled upwards. choose the best statement describing how this demonstrates newtons third law. (1 point)
the trampoline pushes back with equal force but in the opposite direction.
the color of the trampolines jumping surface can affect the reaction force.
the direction of the motion is changed by the surface area of the jumper that comes in contact with the trampoline.
the style of the jumpers footwear affects the first action of compressing the jumping surface.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a person jumps down on a trampoline (action force), the trampoline pushes back with an equal force but in the opposite direction (reaction force), which propels the person upwards. The color of the trampoline's surface, the surface area of the jumper in contact, and the style of the jumper's footwear are not relevant to Newton's third law.

Answer:

The trampoline pushes back with equal force but in the opposite direction.
