Newton's 3rd law of motion is correlated with
Correct answer: B. momentum
- A. law of conservation of energy
- B. momentum
- C. law of conservation of velocity
- D. All
Explanation
Newton's 3rd law of motion states: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This means that when object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.This law is closely related to the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant over time. When object A exerts a force on object B, it transfers momentum to object B, and vice versa. The equal and opposite forces result in equal and opposite changes in momentum, conserving the total momentum of the system.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
