Question
- which is an example of newtons 3rd law? * a picture hanging on a wall it takes less force to move a bicycle than a motorcycle. a swimmer pushes back on the water and the water pushes the swimmer forward. 10 points
Newton's 3rd Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a swimmer pushes back on the water, the water exerts an equal - and - opposite force on the swimmer, pushing the swimmer forward. This is an example of action - reaction pairs. The other options do not relate to Newton's 3rd Law. The second option is about inertia and mass (related to Newton's 2nd Law), and the third option is just about an object at rest on a wall with no action - reaction pair in the context of Newton's 3rd Law being demonstrated.
