What is the best example of newtons third law of motion, A hockey puck sliding on the ice will keep going until it is hit by another player or hits the wall it takes more forced to move a large tractor trailer and it does to move a small sports car a swimmer who jumped off a raft moves forward through the air and the raft move backward to the water you're riding in a car makes a quick return it immediately slide across the backseat

The question has examples of all 3 of Newton's laws of motion.
You just have to know which is which.

Hockey puck . . . First law; law of 'inertia'
Tractor trailer vs sports car . . . Second law; F = M A
Swimmer and raft . . . . . THIS is the third law; action force and REaction force
Car in a fast turn . . . . . First law; another example of inertia

Answer:

a swimmer who jumped off a raft moves forward through the air and the raft move backward to the water

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given examples lets discuss all one by one

1). A hockey puck sliding on the ice will keep going until it is hit by another player or hits the wall

This is Newton's 1st law as here the object will continue its motion until some external force will act on it.

2). it takes more forced to move a large tractor trailer and it does to move a small sports car

This is an example of Newton's 2nd law because as per this law net force is product of mass and acceleration

3) a swimmer who jumped off a raft moves forward through the air and the raft move backward to the water

Here the force is exerted by the swimmer on the raft so swimmer will get reaction force by raft and it moves forwards in the air

4). you're riding in a car makes a quick return it immediately slide across the backseat

In this case it is Newton's law of inertia in which object will continue to move in the same direction if there is no external force on it
