When the person pushes the ground with their foot, the equal and opposite reaction force is

• the ground pushing back on their foot

• when they start to move forward

A book rests on a table.  The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the books from accelerating downward ?   

• The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons.
• The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons.
• The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at  9.8 m/sec²
• The inertia of the book holds it up

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.
