Two gears mesh; gear A exerts a clockwise torque on gear B. Newton’s Third Law for forces between the gear teeth implies which of the following?
A soccer player kicks a ball; the player’s foot exerts a force on the ball for a short time. Which statement follows Newton’s Third Law?
A truck of mass 4000 kg collides with a car of mass 1000 kg. During the brief interaction, the force on the truck is –8000 N (backwards). What is the force on the car during that interaction?
A swimmer pushes water backwards with a force to move forward. Which pair of forces illustrates Newton’s Third Law?
A small bird lands on a scale indicating 0.2 N. The bird exerts 0.2 N on the scale. Which Newton’s Third Law statement matches this?
When a skateboarder pushes backward on the ground with a force of 120 N, which force acts on the skateboarder according to Newton’s Third Law?
Two ice blocks collide; the force between them is internal to the two-block system. What does Newton’s Third Law say about these forces?
When a tennis player serves, racquet exerts a large force on ball. Which statement about energy and Newton’s Third Law is correct?
Two ice skaters push off each other; one skater has mass 50 kg and the other 75 kg. If they experience equal and opposite forces for the same short time, what can be said about their momenta after the push?
A boy pushes a stationary shopping trolley; he exerts 40 N on the trolley. According to Newton’s Third Law, what force acts on the boy?
A person pushes a heavy crate across the floor with a 150 N horizontal push; the crate pushes back with 150 N. If the person’s feet push the ground, what is the role of that ground force in causing motion?
