Question

while on vacation, ellie tries paragliding for the first time. she paraglides due east over a valley. which statement describes how newtons third law of motion is involved in this interaction? the stronger the wind is, the more ellie will accelerate. as ellie readjusts her orientation, the lines of the glider pull on her hands with the same force that her hands pull on the lines. ellie continues gliding east until the wind pushes her further north.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Ellie pulls on the glider lines, the lines pull back on her hands with the same force, which is an example of this law. The first option relates to Newton's second - law (F = ma), and the third option is about change in motion due to an external force, not Newton's third law.

Answer:

As Ellie readjusts her orientation, the lines of the glider pull on her hands with the same force that her hands pull on the lines.
