Question

which sentence states newtons third law?
a. if two objects collide, each object exerts a force in the same direction as the other.
b. if two objects collide, each object exerts a force equal to and in the opposite direction of the other.
c. a collision between a moving object and a stationary object is elastic.
d. a collision between a moving object and a stationary object is inelastic.
e. if two objects collide, the moving object exerts a greater force than the stationary object.

Explanation:

Newton's third - law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two objects collide, this law implies that each object exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the other object.

Answer:

B. If two objects collide, each object exerts a force equal to and in the opposite direction of the other.
