A magnet pulls a piece of iron with a force of 1 N. What is the force that the iron piece exerts on the magnet?

The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N divided by the ratio of the weight of the iron piece to the weight of the magnet in the same direction.
The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N on the magnet in the opposite direction.
The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N divided by the ratio of the weight of the iron piece to the weight of the magnet in the opposite direction.
The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N on the magnet in the same direction.

Answer:

the final statements the correct one is. The second

The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N on the magnet in the opposite direction

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise they give us the force exerted by a magnet on an iron bar and ask us the force that the iron bar exerts on the magnet. We can see that these are action and reaction forces, which by Newton's third law must be of equal magnitude and opposite direction, each applied to one of the bodies.

the final statements the correct one is. The second

The iron piece exerts a force of 1 N on the magnet in the opposite direction
