Answer 1
100N


INCORRECT

This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 100N is not equal to 500N. return to top























Answer 2
200N

INCORRECT

This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 200N is not equal500N. return to top



























Answer 3
500N

CORRECT

This is correct, because Newton's third law states that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 500N is equal to 500N. return to top


























Answer 4
yellow

INCORRECT

This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 1000N is not equal 500N. return to top


























What's this question really asking?
