A race car sits at the starting line on a racetrack. When the race starts, the car's tires exert a force on the track. According to Newton's third law of motion, WHAT PREVENTS THE RACE CAR FROM SINKING INTO THE TRACK?
A. The force of friction between the car tires and the track prevents the car from moving.
B. The track surface exerts a force that is larger and in the same direction as the force exerted by the tires.
C. A normal force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to gravity pushes on the car.
D. The track exerts a force that is equal and in the opposite direction as the force exerted by the tires.

To prevent the race car from sinking into the track,  the track exerts a force that is equal and in the opposite direction as the force exerted by the tires.

What is Newton's third law of motion?

Newton's third law of motion states that force every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

That is the force exerted on an object is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the object.

Fa = - Fb

According to this law, Fa is equal to Fb in magnitude but the directions are different.

Thus, to prevent the race car from sinking into the track,  the track exerts a force that is equal and in the opposite direction as the force exerted by the tires.
