A physics student in a hot air balloon ascends vertically at constant speed. Consider the following four forces present in this situation: 1 = the weight of the hot air balloon 3 = the force of the student pulling on the earth 2 = the weight of the student 4 = the force of the hot air balloon pulling on the student Which two forces form an "action-reaction" pair that obeys Newton's third law?

Zion Evans · Answer 1

The two forces that form an "action-reaction" pair that obeys Newton's third law are forces 2 and forces 3

Explanation:

The force by which student pulls the earth will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force by which earth pulls the student l. e his weight.

Therefore, the two forces are

3 = the force of the student pulling on the earth and

2 = the weight of the student
