Question

10 multiple choice 1 point which of the following are a correct example of an action - reaction force pair? a book pushes on the table and the table pushes back against the book. a student slapped one student and they slapped them back with an equal but opposite force getting paid for the work you put into a job you and a friend are evenly matched in a game of tug of war

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of a book pushing on the table (action force), the table exerts a normal force (reaction force) back on the book. These two forces (book - table interaction) form an action - reaction pair as they act on different objects (book and table) and are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

In the case of students slapping each other, it is a physical altercation and not a proper demonstration of the Newton's third - law in the context of forces in physics (as it involves human intent and not just pure force interaction as per the law). Getting paid for work is a social - economic transaction and not a force pair. In a tug - of - war game (when evenly matched), the forces are on the same object (the rope) and are balanced forces (not action - reaction pairs as action - reaction pairs act on different objects).

Answer:

A. A book pushes on the table and the table pushes back against the book.
