Question

What does Newton’s third law of motion state?(1 point)

Every object remains in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted on by an external force.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

For every action, there is an equal reaction in the opposite direction.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Incorrect

This is Newton’s second law of motion.

Answer 1

Correct answer: "For every action, there is an equal reaction in the opposite direction."

Explanation: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal-magnitude force in the opposite direction on the first. (The other choices are Newton’s first law (inertia), Newton’s second law (F = ma), and conservation of energy.)
