Question
The question below refer to a large truck which breaks down out on the road and receives a push back
to town by a small compact car.
Pick one of the choices A through J below which correctly describes the forces between the car and the
truck in the description below:
The car, still pushing the truck, is at cruising speed when the truck puts on its brakes and causes the car
to slow down.
e
A. The force of the car pushing against the truck is equal to that of the truck pushing back against the car.
B. The force of the car pushing against the truck is less than that of the truck pushing back against the
car.
C. The force of the car pushing against the truck is greater than that of the truck pushing back 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
isn't running so it can't push back with a force against the car.
OA
E. Neither the car nor the truck exert any force on each other. The truck is pushed forward simply because
it is in the way of the car.
J. None of these descriptions is correct.
