Question

1. the wheels of the locomotive are exerting a force on the track and the track is exerting a force on the wheels of the locomotive. it is moving east at 75 miles per hour. which law will explain this interaction? 1st law: an object at rest will stay at rest or an object in motion will stay in motion 2nd law: acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object 3rd law: the forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction

Explanation:

The locomotive's wheels exerting a force on the track and the track exerting a force back on the wheels is an example of an action - reaction pair. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer:

3rd Law: The forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction
