Question

The Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched in March 1972 to explore the solar system. Pioneer 10 has continued on its journey and is now traveling beyond the solar system. Which statement best explains why Pioneer 10 continues to travel farther in space?
A: For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
B: The force of the solar wind moves objects through space at a constant speed.
C: Objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by unbalanced forces.

Answer 1

The answer is C. Because the safe craft would have had some sort of speed when it stoped accelerating it would stay at that speed because there is nothing slowing it down because it’s in space

Answer 2

Answer:

It´s C. Balanced forces are equal and opposite forces that act on the same object. That's why they cancel out. Action-reaction forces are equal and opposite forces that act on different objects, so they don't cancel out. In fact, they often result in motion.
