When you jump up, you push the earth downwards. Why can't you tell that the earth has moved?

• The force of you jumping up doesn't actually push the earth down.

• The earth has much more mass so it doesn't move at all

• The earth is firmly rooted

• The earth has much more mass so you can't tell that it moved

When you hit a tennis ball with a racket...

• The ball exerts more force on the racket

• The ball and racket exert the same force on each other

• The racket exerts more force on the ball

• It depends on how hard you hit it

Two students with different masses are sitting in roll-y chairs. The lighter one uses his feet to push the other

• The lighter student will move faster because he has less mass

• The heavier student will move more because he is being pushed

• They will move with the same speed

• The heavier student shouldn't move at all

When you jump upwards, what force is moving you upwards once you leave the ground?

• Gravity on to you

• The air on to you

Newton's Third Law States...

• Objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest
• Force is equal to mass times acceleration
• For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction

An archer shoots an arrow. The action force is the bowstring against the arrow, the reaction force is...

• Air resistance against the bow
• the arrow's push against the bowstring
• the grip of the archer's hand on the bow
