Asked by Zephyr Benedict
How do bumper cars at an amusement park demonstrate Newton’s third law?
A. If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then they will move away from each other in opposite directions with the same force.
B. If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then one car will transfer its force to the other car and they will move together in the same direction.
C. If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then they will move away from each other in opposite directions with a stronger force.
D. If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then one car will transfer its force to the other car and they will move away from each other in opposite directions.

A.
Newton's third law says the forces two objects exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. In a bumper-car collision each car pushes the other with the same force but in opposite directions; their resulting motions (accelerations/speeds) depend on their masses and friction.
