Answer 1

Answer:A:The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

Explanation:According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Clinton's shoe pushing on the track. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.
