Multiple Choice

Which of the following options finishes the force pair statement?

• the pin pushes the bowling ball right.

• the pin has no effect on the ball

• the pin falls down

• the pin stops the ball because the forces are balanced

Multiple Choice

Does the image show an action/reaction force pair or a balanced force?

• action/reaction force pair

• balanced force

Multiple Choice

Does the image show an action/reaction force pair or a balanced force?

• action/reaction force pair

• balanced force

This is NOT a action/reaction force pair because the forces being applied are different and the forces are acting on the same object!

In this image the earth's gravity is pulling on the ball and the earth's normal (support) force is pushing on the ball. This is two forces acting on the same object!
