Number 3 is "The ball on the right will swing to the right."
I apologize for the error. You are correct. The correct response for the bumper cars question 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." Thank you for correcting me.
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 understand why this statement is correct, let's break down Newton's third law. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
In the case of two objects colliding, one object is exerting a force on the other, while the second object is exerting an equal and opposite force on the first object.
So, if object A hits object B, it exerts a force on object B, causing it to push back or move. At the same time, object B exerts a force on object A, pushing it back in the opposite direction. This is why the correct statement is that the second object will push back when it is hit by a moving object.
