Question

select the correct location on the image. the diagram shows two dodgeballs colliding. the red arrow shows the direction of force of the moving ball striking a stationary ball. which arrow shows the direction of the force exerted by the stationary ball on the moving ball?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's third - law

According to Newton's third - law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the moving ball exerts a force on the stationary ball, the stationary ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the moving ball.

Step2: Determine the direction

The direction of the force exerted by the stationary ball on the moving ball is opposite to the direction of the force of the moving ball on the stationary ball. Since the red arrow shows the direction of the force of the moving ball on the stationary ball, the force exerted by the stationary ball on the moving ball is in the opposite direction.

Answer:

The arrow opposite to the red arrow.
