which of the following describes newton's third law of motion?
A) Force is equal to mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration (F=m*a)
B) An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
C) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

C) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law

For every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction time. Explains why forces act in pairs.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
