Which of the following would be a good example of Newton's third law of motion?

• An air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror of a car hangs still while the car moves forward with a constant acceleration
• A carbon dioxide-fueled rocket launches upward into the air as carbon dioxide gas accelerates toward the ground below the rocket
• Two balls of different masses are rolled with the same force, resulting in the ball with larger mass stopping faster than the ball with the smaller mass.
