Billy Bob and LuLu each pull very hard on opposite ends of a rope in a game of tug-of-war. The greatest force on the rope is exerted by.

Billy Bob's imaginary friend, Steve.

As a ball falls, the action force is the pull of the Earth's mass on the ball. The reaction force is the_____________.

pull of the ball's mass on the Earth

air resistance acting against the ball

A horse pulls forward on a carriage with a given force. By Newton's Third Law, the carriage must be pulling on the horse backward with an equal and opposite force. Given this, what explains why the horse and carriage can move forward?

The cart is rolling on wheels and has a smaller frictional force while the horse's hooves have more friction with the ground

The cart's force is only in reaction to the horse's force so it does not define direction of movement

The forward and backward forces are equal, so it actually can't move forward

The forward force of the horse is just big enough to overcome the backward force of the cart and start the cart forward

A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the books from accelerating downward at 9.8 m/sec 2

The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons.

The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons.

The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at 9.8 m/sec 2

The inertia of the book holds it up

When gravity pulls a skydiver towards the Earth, the reaction force is...

The skydiver pulling the Earth.

In the interaction between the skydiver and the Earth, which object will accelerate most and why?

The skydiver will accelearate more since he/she has less inertia.

The Earth will accelerate more due to its inertia.

The skydiver will accelerate more due to air resistance.

Both the Earth and the skydiver acceelrate eqyually due to Newton's third law.

An object is moving at a constant velocity. What can you say about the forces on it?

They are all acting in the same direction

There cannot be any forces on it

You hit a wall with a stick. The equal but opposite reaction is _____

the wall pushes against the stick

True or false, you cannot exert 100 N of force on a piece of paper.

True - the paper cannot return the equal amount of force due to its low inertia.

False - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
