Question

directions read and answer each question. 1 in a soccer game, diego’s foot collides with maria’s shin. maria is wearing shin guards. what do the shin guards do? a the shin guards apply equal and opposite force to diego’s foot. b they do nothing because shin guards cannot apply force as they are not moving. c the shin guards apply equal and opposite force to diego’s shins. d the shin guards destroy the force from diego’s foot.

Explanation:

Shin - guards are protective gear. They don't apply force back in the sense described in A and C. They also don't destroy force as force can't be destroyed according to Newton's laws. Their main purpose is to protect the shin, and they don't actively apply force on their own. So the correct answer is B as they don't apply force on their own when stationary.

Answer:

B. They do nothing because shin guards cannot apply force as they are not moving.
