Question 7

What is Newtons 3rd law? (Resultant force)

Answer 7

When 2 objects interact with each other, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other

Question 8

What is Newtons 1st law?

Answer 8

If forces are acting on one another and are balanced it means the resultant force is 0, when moving it stays moving at a constant speed
