Question

which of the following is an example of newtons third law of motion? a a plate sitting on a table with unbalanced forces acting in the opposite direction b a ball rolling down a hill, with balanced forces c a person pushing against a wall, and the wall pushing back with an equal force in the opposite direction newtons laws! - checkpoint review #1!

Explanation:

Newton's third - law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In option C, a person pushing against a wall is the action force, and the wall pushing back with an equal force in the opposite direction is the reaction force. Option A describes unbalanced forces which is not related to Newton's third - law. Option B is about balanced forces during motion and not an example of action - reaction pairs.

Answer:

C. A person pushing against a wall, and the wall pushing back with an equal force in the opposite direction
