Question

A student pushes a chair into a desk. If the student's push is the action force, then what is the reaction force in this example of Newton's third law?

A. the force that the chair exerts on the desk after it is pushed in
B. the force of friction acting on the chair
C. the force of gravity acting on the chair
D. the force from the chair on the student

Answer 1

Ans : C

Step-by-step explanation:

C. The force of gravity acting on the chair

Answer 2

D. the force from the chair on the student

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

Hope this helps :)
