Understanding the Magnet and Truck Problem

What is the main reason the truck and magnet system doesn't work as expected?

• Newton's Third Law causes internal forces to cancel out.

• The steel plate is too heavy.

• The truck is not moving on a flat surface.

• The magnet is not strong enough.

According to Newton's Third Law, what happens when you pull on one side of a rubber band?

• The rubber band breaks.

• The other side experiences an equal force.

• The other side remains still.

• The rubber band shrinks.

In the truck and magnet scenario, what role does the connecting beam play?

• It reduces the weight of the truck.

• It enhances the magnet's pull.

• It prevents the truck from moving forward.

• It increases the truck's speed.

Why does the truck not move forward despite the magnet pulling on it?

• The beam pushes back on the truck, canceling the forward pull.

• The steel plate is not properly attached.

• The truck is too heavy to be moved.

• The magnet is too far from the truck.

What analogy does the narrator use to explain the concept of internal forces?

• Pushing a car uphill.

• Pulling a rope in a tug-of-war.

• Pushing on a car's steering wheel.

• Lifting a heavy box.
