a raindrop falls close to a building. what is the correct relationship of forces acting between the raindrop and the building?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall Newton's third - law
Forces between two objects are action - reaction pairs.
Step2: Analyze the situation
The raindrop and the building do not have a direct contact in a way that would cause a significant force in the vertical or horizontal directions relevant to the options shown. But if we consider the gravitational and other negligible forces, according to Newton's third law, the forces between them are an action - reaction pair. The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The arrows pointing towards each other represent equal and opposite forces.
Answer:
The first option (the one with arrows pointing towards each other)
