When discussing Newton’s laws of motion, which terms do people most likely use when talking about Newton’s third law of motion? “force” and “acceleration” “inertia” and “force” “action” and “reaction” “mass” and “inertia”

Hello!

The answer is: c. “action” and “reaction”

Why?

Let's put a letter to each option in order to make the explanation easier:

a. "force” and “acceleration”: false, this option is referring to Newton's second law which describes the relation between force, the mass and the acceleration of an object.

b. “inertia” and “force”: false, this option refers to Newton's first law which describes the relation between the motion of a body and its inertia.

c. “action” and “reaction”: true, Newton's third law states that for an action there is always a reaction, talking about forces. When a force is applied on an object, the object also applies a force with same magnitude and orientation but in the opposite direction.

d. “mass” and “inertia”: false, it could be the terms which people use when they are talking about Newton's first and second law.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The right choice is Action and Reaction

Explanation:

The third law states that all forces between two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite direction. According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other and these two forces are called action and reaction forces.

Mathematically  FA = −FB.
