A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. The table pushes up with a force of 20N. Because the forces on the book are equal and opposite, it remains at rest. This is an example of....

In Newton's 3rd Law, when forces are equal and opposite, why doesn't this result in inertia?

• 2 forces are acting on the same object.

• 2 different forces are acting on 2 different objects.

• The same force is acting on 2 different objects.

• 1 force is acting on one object.
