Based on Newton's law of action-reaction, which arrow represents the force that the seat belt would exert on the man's body if he had to slam on the brakes?

Answer:

c. Y

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. Hence for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Considering the system of forces shown in the image, W and Y are  opposite forces. When the driver slams on the brakes, he will be pushed forward towards the windscreen. The force Y exerted by the seat belt keeps him on the drivers seat by moving him backwards towards the seat.
