Question

a standing deer exerts 780 n of force downward onto the ground. what force is exerted onto the deer by the ground? 780 n downward 780 n upward 780 n to the left 780 n to the right

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's Third Law

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The deer exerts a downward force (action) on the ground.

Step2: Determine the Reaction Force

The ground will exert a force (reaction) on the deer that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the deer exerts on the ground. Since the deer exerts 780 N downward, the ground exerts 780 N upward.

Answer:

780 N upward
