Question

According to Newton’s third law of motion, which statement is always correct?(1 point) Responses If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will start moving. If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will start moving. If two moving objects collide, then both will stop moving. If two moving objects collide, then both will stop moving. If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back. If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.

Answer 1

According to Newton’s third law of motion, the correct statement is: "If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back."

This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on the first object. The other statements are not necessarily true; for example, just because two objects collide doesn’t mean they will both stop moving.
