Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

For example, when you fire a gun, the gun exerts a force on bullet. Even the bullet exerts an equal force on the gun, causing it to recoil.

The Earth revolves around the Sun as the Sun attracts it. The reason why Earth doesn't fall into it is because the Earth also attracts the Sun with an equal gravitational force.

A moving car skids to a stop with the wheels locked across a level roadway. Of the forces listed, identify which act on the car.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance.

Explanation:

When a moving car skid to stop and its wheels are locked across, then the following forces will be applied on the car:

Normal force: It will act counter to gravity that pushes an object against a surface and acts perpendicular to the contact surface.

Gravity: Gravity force acts in each and every object having mass and it can not be avoidable. So, the gravity force will also apply to the car and attract it to the earth's surface.

Friction: Friction is a force that acts opposite to the motion and stops or slows motion. Friction will be applied to the car that will oppose the motion of the car and stop it.

Air resistance: air resistance is defined as the forces exerted by air that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object. Air resistance will also be applied to the car when it will skid to stop as we are always surrounded by the air.

Hence, the correct answers are "Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance."
