Answer 1

Forces have equal but opposite forces and can affect how matter moves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements about forces that are true are:

1. Every force has an equal but opposite force. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
2. Forces organize and affect how matter moves. Forces can cause objects to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction.

It is important to note that forces do not always have to be balanced, and not every force requires matter to touch.
