Question
brett is playing with his fidget spinner. which statement describes how newtons third law of motion is involved in this interaction? the harder brett spins the spinner, the faster it will rotate. bretts fingers exert a force on the spinner that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that the spinner exerts on his fingers. the spinner will remain at rest until brett spins it.
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Brett's fingers exert a force on the fidget - spinner, the spinner exerts an equal and opposite force on his fingers. The first option relates to Newton's second law (force and acceleration), and the third option relates to Newton's first law (inertia).
