Question

multi-select: which of the following are examples of newtons 3rd law? * 3 points a swimmer pushes water backward water pushes the swimmer forward a car sitting still on a flat road gravity pulling down on an apple and the apple pulling up on earth this is a required question

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• In the case of a swimmer pushing water backward (action), water pushes the swimmer forward (reaction).
• Gravity pulling down on an apple (action) and the apple pulling up on Earth (reaction) also follow Newton's 3rd Law. A car sitting still on a flat road is an example of Newton's 1st Law (equilibrium of forces).

Answer:

A. A swimmer pushes water backward, B. Water pushes the swimmer forward, D. Gravity pulling down on an apple and the apple pulling up on Earth
