Answer options

  1. Newton's First Law
  2. Newton's Second Law
  3. Newton's Third Law
  4. Law of Conservation of Mass

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Newton's Third Law

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) Newton's Third Law šŸ“š Explanation: Newton's Third Law implies that forces always exist in pairs; if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on object A. This principle explains how rockets launch into space by pushing exhaust gases downward to generate upward thrust. It is fundamental to understanding dynamics and mechanical interactions.
