Question
- the picture shows a girl walking on a part of a ropes course at natural bridge caverns. newtons 3rd law of action - reaction force pairs exist in this scenario. explain what objects exhibit the action - reaction forces and the relationship of the forces exerted.
According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this scenario, when the girl walks on the ropes, her weight (action force) acts downward on the ropes. The ropes exert an equal upward reaction force on the girl. These two forces (girl on ropes and ropes on girl) are an action - reaction pair. They are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act on different objects (the girl and the ropes respectively).

The girl and the ropes exhibit the action - reaction forces. The girl exerts a downward force (action) on the ropes due to her weight, and the ropes exert an upward force (reaction) on the girl. The two forces are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act on different objects (the girl and the ropes).
