Question
A bowl of apples is resting on a table. The bowl is not
moving (it is not accelerating) even though the Earth is
pulling down on the bowl. This gravitational force on
the bowl is half of a pair of forces that are related by
Newton's Third Law. We call a pair of forces like this a
third law pair. Which, if any, of the following choices is
the other half of that third law pair?
O The force the bowl exerts on the table.
O The force the table exerts on the bowl.
O The force the apples exert on the bowl.
O The force the bowl exerts on the apples.
O None of the above is the other half of the pair.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

Newton's Third law states "that every action has an equal and opposite reaction of the same magnitude but opposite in direction of the applied force."

In simple words, Force always act in pairs.
