Question

brett is playing with his fidget spinner. which statement describes how newtons third law of motion is involved in this interaction? 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. the harder brett spins the spinner, the faster it will rotate.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of Brett spinning the fidget - spinner, his fingers exert a force on the spinner, and the spinner exerts an equal - magnitude and opposite - direction force on his fingers. The second statement is Newton's first law (inertia), and the third is Newton's second law (F = ma).

Answer:

Brett's 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.
