If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will start moving.
If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will start moving.

If two moving objects collide, then both will stop moving.
If two moving objects collide, then both will stop moving.

If two moving objects collide, then they will bounce off each other.
If two moving objects collide, then they will bounce off each other.

If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.

If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.

According to Newton's third law of motion, the correct statement is:

If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.

To get this answer, you need to understand Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the context of objects colliding, when a moving object hits another object, it will exert a force on that object. In response, the second object will exert an equal and opposite force on the first object. This is why the second object pushes back when it is hit by a moving object.

So, out of the given options, the statement "If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back" is the correct one according to Newton's third law of motion.

According to Newton's third law of motion, the correct statement is:

If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.
