How do bumper cars at an amusement park demonstrate Newton’s third law?(1 point)

If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then they will move away from each other in opposite directions with a stronger force.
If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then they will move away from each other in opposite directions with a stronger force.
If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then one car will transfer its force to the other car and they will move away from each other in opposite directions.
If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then one car will transfer its force to the other car and they will move away from each other in opposite directions.
If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then one car will transfer its force to the other car and they will move together in the same direction.

Newton's third law states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This means that whenever two objects interact, they exert forces upon each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
In the context of bumper cars:
- When two bumper cars collide, each car applies a force to the other. According to Newton's third law, the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- After the collision, the cars will move away from each other because of the forces exerted during the collision.
- The force one car experiences is equal to the force exerted on the other car but in the opposite direction.
So, the correct statement that demonstrates Newton’s third law in terms of bumper cars is:
"If two bumper cars collide with a certain force, then they will move away from each other in opposite directions with the same force."
This aligns with Newton's third law, as the force exerted by each car on the other during the collision is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, leading to the cars moving apart with these equal forces.
