Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the monkey throws the hat, both the hat and the monkey will move away from each other. However, due to differences in their masses, they will move at different speeds, according to the conservation of momentum.
