The magnet pulled the book closer to it.
The magnet pushed the paperclip away.
The magnet pulled the paperclip closer.
The magnet caused no changes to the position of the objects.

Two equal forces act at the same time on the same object but in opposite directions. Which statement describes the object's motion?
The object changes direction.
The object does not move.
The object increases its speed.
The object starts to move.
Two football linemen push against each other in practice. They do not move, but then lineman B moves forward and lineman A moves backward. Why does this happen?
Because the two linemen push equally in opposite directions and the forces cancel each other.
Lineman A is pushing with a greater force than Lineman B.
The forces were equal, but then Lineman B exerted more force, causing the forces to be unbalanced.
Lineman B exerted less force than Lineman A.
