According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what force is being applied and in what direction? (1 point)
O The wall applies a force of 50 N in the same direction.
The wall applies a force of 100 N in the opposite direction.
• The wall applies a force of 100 N in the same direction.
• The wall applies a force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
1 answer
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, if Howard leans back against the wall with a force of 50 N, the wall applies an equal force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
So, the correct answer is: • The wall applies a force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
