Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we will analyze the effect of two equal and opposite forces on a moving object step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces**: - Let’s denote the two equal and opposite forces acting on the object as \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \). - According to the problem, \( |F_1| = |F_2| \) and they act in opposite directions. ...

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.
