Two bodies in contact experience forces in:
Correct answer: B. Opposite directions
- A. Same direction
- B. Opposite directions
- C. Perpendicular directions
- D. Five different direction
Explanation
The two bodies in contact will follow Newton's third law of motion. The third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The two bodies will experience each other's reaction forces in opposite directions.

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.
