A large truck breaks down out on the road and receives a push back into town by a small compact car. While the car, still pushing the truck, is speeding up to get up to cruising speed: a) the amount of force of the car pushing against the truck is equal to the that of the truck pushing back against the car b) the amount of force of the car pushing against the truck is less than that of the truck pushing back against the car c) the amount of force of the car pushing against the truck is greater than the that of the truck pushing against the car d) The car’s engine is running so it applies a force as it pushes against the truck but the truck’s engine is not running so it can’t push back against the car, the truck is pushed forward simply because it is in the way of the car e) neither the car not the truck exert any force on the other, the truck is pushed forward simply because it is in the way of the car
