The wind blows a lawn chair that weighs 4 kg into a fence with a force of 8 N. How much reaction force does the fence exert on the chair? Responses 8 N 8 N - no response given 2 N 2 N - no response given 0 N 0 N - no response given 0.5 N

Answer 1

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if the wind exerts a force of 8 N on the lawn chair as it pushes the chair into the fence, the fence will exert an equal and opposite force on the chair.

Therefore, the reaction force that the fence exerts on the chair is 8 N.

The correct answer is 8 N.
