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 at 9.8 m/sec²    

• 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.

When gravity pulls a skydiver towards the Earth, the reaction force is...

• The skydiver pulling the Earth.
• Air resistance
• The weight of the skydiver
• Drag

In the interaction between the skydiver and the Earth, which object will accelerate most and why?

• The Earth will accelerate more due to its inertia.
• The skydiver will accelerate more due to air resistance.
• The skydiver will accelearate more since he/she has less inertia.
• Both the Earth and the skydiver acceelrate eqyually due to Newton's third law.
