Question

select the correct answer
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 elastic
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. This means when two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, which matches option B.

Answer:

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