Forces and Energy in Motion

Which of the following best describes Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.

• The force of gravity acts between all masses.
