Question

howard leans back against a wall with 50 n of force. according to newtons third law of motion, what force is being applied and in what direction? (1 point)
the wall applies a force of 50 n in the opposite direction.
the wall applies a force of 100 n in the same direction.
the wall applies a force of 100 n in the opposite direction.
the wall applies a force of 50 n in the same direction.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Howard applies 50 N force on the wall, so the wall applies an equal 50 N force back on Howard in the opposite direction.

Answer:

The wall applies a force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
