Question

12. According to the third law of motion when we push on an object,
the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force.
If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it
will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering
that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other.
Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not
move.​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the third law of motion when we push an object, the object pushes us back with an equal and opposite force. These two forces are called as action-reaction pair.

According to the third law of motion when we push an object, the object pushes us back with an equal and opposite force. These two forces are called as action-reaction pair.The student’s justification is incorrect since action and reaction always operate on different bodies and hence cannot cancel each other. When two equal and opposite forces act on the same body, they cancel each other

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

yeah its kind of true but if that would be the case think of a heavy metal which on falling towards the ground it does not bounces off which proves that it is always true that an objects always applies the same force on on the object which strikes on it.

But it doest have been stated in the answer that an object always try to acquire the state of equilibrium.

so this may be inappropriate not incorrect.
