Question

N a football game, two players tackle each other so hard that they both fly in opposite directions after they hit each other. �What law of motion is this an example of?

Newton's First Law

Newton's Second Law

Newton's Third Law

Answer

Answer 1

Newton's Third Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Third Law stipulates that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when the two players are tackling they exert a force on each other.

If player 1 tackles (exerts a force) player 2, player 2 will exert an equal and opposite reaction on player 1 as stated in Newton's Third Law.

Therefore when they tackle each other so hard they both experience reaction forces so powerful that they fly in opposite directions.

Thus this is an example of the Newton's Third Law.
