What is Newton's 3rd law?
If the mass of an object is 25 kg, and it is accelerating at 3 m/s2, then what is the force that it is moving?
What is 75N?
This type of net force will result in motion

What is 65 kg?
Explain how you could DECREASE the friction between two substances.
What is - you could make the surfaces smoother - or you could apply more force.

Using Newton's 3rd law, explain how you could protect something that you know could collide with something else (like your phone, or a car). (THIS QUESTION WILL SHOW UP ON THE TEST)
What is - you could provide a soft bumper of some sort, or a crumple zone (something that will crunch and take the brunt of the force before it hits your phone or car or object), or you could add a spontaneous air bag device.
If Joe is pushing a car from behind with 40N of force, and Tom misunderstood and he is at the front of the car pushing with 40N of force, what is the net force of this pushing, and what direction will the car go?
What is 0 (zero) N, and nowhere because they are cancelling each other out.
