Answer:

a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force

Step-by-step explanation:

if you tug the rope it goes in your direction when the opposing team does so it goes in their direction. each team pulling on the rope is the force applied to it.

Answer: Newton's second law of motion is F = ma or force is equal to the mass the reason this applies to Newton's third law is because When the game starts, both the sides are pulling the rope and neither side is moving. The force on the rope is the same on each side This is Newton's second law of motion which equates force as mass times acceleration.
