Question

5 multiple choice 1 point which situation best demonstrates newtons third law? a car parked in a driveway. a book resting on a table. a person sleeping on a couch. a rocket launching upward as gases blast downward.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of a rocket launching, the action is the gases being blasted downward by the rocket engines, and the reaction is the upward force that propels the rocket. The other situations involve objects at rest with balanced forces and do not clearly show action - reaction pairs as described by Newton's Third Law.

Answer:

D. A rocket launching upward as gases blast downward.
