Question

A skater pushes off a wall and skates backward for a few meters before stopping.
Which statement best describes an action-reaction force pair in this situation?

F The wall pushes on the skater when the skater pushes on the wall.

G The wheels slow down, and the skater stops.

H The skater exerts a force on the wall, and the wheels exert a force on the floor and begin
to turn

J The friction of the floor decreases when the wheels roll on the floor.

Answer 1

Answer:

F

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law (Law of Action-Reaction) states:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction and it occurs between two objects

In this scenario, the action would be the skater pushing off of the wall, therefore the reaction would be the wall pushing off of the skater since the two objects that are interacting are the wall and the skater.
