While roller skating, Jack and Jill decide to test one of Newton's laws. They stood facing each other. Jack pushed on Jill's hand and Jill pushed on Jack's hand with equal force. What law were they testing and what happened next?

Group of answer choices

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 3rd law. Jill moved backwards but Jack moved forward.

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 1st law of motion because they had balanced forces action on each other and no movement took place.

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 2nd law of motion because they experienced an equal but opposite acceleration.

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 3rd law of motion. Jack and Jill pushed on each other (action) and then they both moved away from each other (reaction).

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 3rd law. Jill moved backwards but Jack moved forward.

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this situation, we can identify:

- Jack as "object A"

- Jill as "object B"

Therefore, according to Newton's 3rd law, when Jack pushes on Jill (action), Jill pushes back on Jack with an equal and opposite force (reaction).

As a result, they will move in opposite directions, since the forces they apply on each other are in opposite directions as well.

So, the correct option is

Jack and Jill were testing Newton's 3rd law. Jill moved backwards but Jack moved forward.
