A person steps out of the boat and onto the dock.  As the person moves forward onto the dock, the boat moves backward.  Which statement best describes the backward motion of the boat as the person steps forward?

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• Every mass exerts a force on every other mass.
• An object at rest tends to stay at rest.
• Friction opposes the motion of an object.

Why is the net force 0 in the image?

• Because the elephants are the same size
• Because they are both pulling the same amount of force in opposite directions
• Because they are elephants
• Because they are pulling away from each other.
