Question

according to the third law of motion when we propose an object the object on a sweet and equal and opposite force.if the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside it will probably not move. a student justifies this answer that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other.​

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. The student's justification is incorrect since action and reaction always operate on different bodies and hence cannot cancel each other.
