An astronaut in space pushes a piece of equipment to get it into the correct position. What does Newton's third law of motion tell us about this? Question 5 options: The equipment would have accelerated much faster if the astronaut had applied a much greater force to it. The equipment will "push back" on the astronaut with the same amount of force. The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it. The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

    Answer: C and D

    The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

    The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

    Explanation: According to Newton's first law of motion which state that; A body at rest will continue to be at rest, or in linear motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless an external force act on it.

    The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

    immediately the astronaut apply force to the object by pushing in, Newton's first law will be manifested in which the equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.
