A bullet fired from a gun causes the gun to recoil. This is an example of:

Answer: Newton's third law.

  • A Newton's first law
  • B Newton's second law
  • C Newton's third law
  • D Law of gravity

Correct answer: C. Newton's third law

Explanation: Bullet moves forward; gun recoils backward. Equal and opposite forces: Newton's third law.

Free-body diagram of a block on an incline: weight (mg) resolves into mg sinθ along the slope and mg cosθ into the slope, balanced by the normal force N and friction f.

Concept context

Newton's three laws, friction, circular motion, and free body diagrams.
