Newton's third law states that:
A.An object in motion stays in motion
B.Force equals mass times acceleration
C.For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
D.Gravity is proportional to mass
Explanation
Core Concept
Newton's third law states that when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
Correct Answer
CFor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
