Question

two bodies P and Q interact each other. mass of P is greater than Q the object P exerts a force of 10 N in Q, towards East. what is the force exerted by Q in P ? do they produce same magnitude of acceleration ? justify your answer.

Answer 1

The force exerted by Q on P is also 10 N.
But they do not produce same acceleration.
Since , Force = Mass × Acceleration
=> Acceleration = Force / Mass

Since both the objects have different mass, thus their acceleration will be different.
Greater the mass , lower will be the acceleration.

Therefore, P will have a smaller acceleration than Q.
