Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table. The scale reads 8 N. Which force should Lien conclude is also 8 N?

Respuesta :

The force to the left of the block on the spring scale

Answer

The force on the left across the lab table.

Explanation

The Newton's third law of motion states that; action and reaction are equal but a ct in opposite direction.

When the block of is pulled on the right with a force of X Newtons then there is a force -X Newtons applying and equal force on the left. For every action there must be a reaction with is equal and applying in the opposite direction.

So, if the block is pulled on the right by a force of 8 N there is another equal force applying on the left.
