Answers
Answer: I think letter D correct me if I'm wrong
Answer:
The correct option to the question-"When you stand on the floor, the force of your body pushing down on the floor is" is-
a. matched by the floor pushing up on your body.
Explanation:
Newton's third law of gravitation-
The Third Law of Newton says that forces come in pairs. When an object X exerts a force on object Y,Y exerts an equal and opposite force on object X.
For example, when an object is attracted by the earth's gravitational force, the object attracts the earth with an equal an opposite force.
Two applications of the universal law of Gravitation
The two applications of the universal law of Gravitation is:
The universal law of gravitation helps in discovering new planets and stars . The universal law of gravitation helps in determining the accurate mass of the earth, the stars and the moon.
Reaction force
It states that every action has an equal and oposite reaction. We may no tfeel this, but when we're standing on the floor, we are exerting a force against the floor: our weight, caused by gravity, is pulling us down. The floor is reacting by pushing back: this force is known as reaction force.
Thus,(a.) matched by the floor pushing up on your body. is the correct option.
