Question
when a heavy football player and a light one run into each other on the field, who exerts more force? the heavy one they are equal the light one there is no such thing as force
Step1: Apply Newton's third law
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two objects interact (in this case, the two football players colliding), the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The mass of the objects (the players' weights) does not affect the magnitude of the force in an interaction like a collision.
