Question

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:

Explanation:

You must remember that the Newton third law does not apply to the same object. This means that the action and reaction are exerted on two different bodies. Therefore, there is no logic of their cancellation at all. Thus the answer provided by the student is incorrect. However, in this case the truck does not move because the static friction between the road and the truck wheels is very high and cannot be overcome by the force applied to move it. That is why you will see that the truck does not move from its position
