Question

question 3 6.25 pts which situation shows newtons third law? a car continues to coast when the engine is off a ball rolling stops because of friction a rocket pushes gases down, gases push rocket up a soccer ball accelerates faster when kicked harder

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of a rocket, the action is the rocket pushing gases downwards, and the reaction is the gases pushing the rocket upwards. The other options relate to Newton's First and Second Laws. A car coasting when the engine is off is due to inertia (First Law), a ball stopping due to friction involves forces (First and Second Laws in a way related to change in motion), and a soccer - ball accelerating faster when kicked harder is Newton's Second Law (Force = mass x acceleration).

Answer:

C. A rocket pushes gases down, gases push rocket up
