Question
newtons third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. it is also called the law of action-reaction. an action force is a force acting in a specific direction. a reaction force is a force acting in the opposite direction as another force. action-reaction forces act in pairs and are equal and opposite. choose the correct answer. what does newtons third law explain? why an apple falls from a tree why you must push harder to move a car farther why you push on a wall and the wall pushes back to you
- Analyze each option:
- "Why an apple falls from a tree" is explained by Newton's Law of Gravitation (or First/Second Law in terms of force due to gravity), not the Third Law.
- "Why you must push harder to move a car farther" relates to work, force, and distance (possibly Newton's Second Law or work - energy concepts), not the Third Law.
- "Why you push on a wall and the wall pushes back to you" shows an action (your push on the wall) and an equal - opposite reaction (the wall's push on you), which is exactly what Newton's Third Law (action - reaction) explains.
