They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

They are unequal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

They are equal in magnitude and same in direction.

They are unequal in magnitude and same in direction.

The starting blocks create a forward force that increases the runner’s speed as their front foot pushes against the block.

When the blocks are not used, the balanced up and down forces of the ground and the runner’s feet create a faster pace.

The runners’ feet are in a more natural position without the blocks, which allows an equal force from each of their feet on the ground and faster overall times.

When using the blocks, the back feet of the runners are able to get more force on the ground faster, and the ground provides an equal force on the front foot.

They get less force on the ground.

They are able to get more force on the ground faster.

They stay in the same position.

They move backward.
