Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the force needed to throw the full soda can was more than that needed to throw the empty can.

Now, the weight of the full soda can will be more than that of the empty can. Therefore, the full can will demand more force than that of the empty can due to Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
