Answer 1

I believe the answer is T

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These action force and reaction force are together called the action-reaction force pair.

According to the above said law, when we exert a downward force on earth (via the pole) to make a pole vault, the earth in response exerts an upward and equal force on the pole.
