According to Newton's third law of motion, which statement is always correct? (1 point)

Question

If a moving object hits another
• object, then the second object will start moving.
If a moving object hits another
O object, then the second object will
push back.
If two moving objects collide, then they will bounce off each other.
If two moving objects collide, then both will stop moving.

Answer 1

According to Newton's third law of motion, the statement that is always correct 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 in the opposite direction on the first object. The other statements are not necessarily true in all situations. For example, the second object may not start moving, and it is not guaranteed that two colliding objects will always bounce off each other or stop moving.
