A student pulls a 60 newton sled with a force having a magnitude of 20 newtons. what is the magnitude of the force that the sled exerts on the student?

20 newtons

20N

-20

To determine the magnitude of the force that the sled exerts on the student, we can use Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case, the force exerted by the student pulling the sled (20 newtons) is the action, and the force exerted by the sled on the student is the reaction. According to Newton's third law, these two forces have the same magnitude but act in opposite directions.

Therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by the sled on the student is also 20 newtons.
