A child pushes a desk with a force of 15 N to the right. The desk accelerates to the right. Which of the following statements co
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: number 1

Explanation:

Third law of Newton: says that for every action ,there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, if the child is pushing an object to the right, it will recipe the same amount of force that he is exerting to the object but in opposite direction.

Number 2 and 3 are incorrect because, because the third law of Newton says "an equal and opposite reaction", not slightly more or less.

Number 4 is wrong, it is not in agreement with Newton's third law of motion.
