Question
**Problem Description:**

Two blocks are attached by massless strings and accelerated to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface by the tension \( T_B \). The masses are \( m_1 = 2.0 \, \text{kg} \) and \( m_2 = 3.0 \, \text{kg} \). The acceleration of block 1 is \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Which is the Newton's third law pair force? Select all that apply.

**Diagram:**

- The diagram shows two blocks connected by strings, with the following labels:
  - Block 1: Mass \( m_1 \) with tension \( T_A \) pulling it to the right.
  - Block 2: Mass \( m_2 \) with tension \( T_B \) also pulling it to the right.

**Answer Options:**

- [ ] \( T_A \) on block 2 and \( T_B \) on block 2
- [ ] \( T_B \) on block 2 and \( T_B \) on block 12
- [ ] \( T_A \) on block 1 and \( T_B \) on block 2
- [ ] \( T_A \) on block 1 and \( T_A \) on block 2
- [ ] \( T_A \) on block 1 and \( T_B \) on block 12

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, we need to identify the pairs of forces that adhere to Newton's third law. According to this law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In the context of this problem, we need to identify the action-reaction pairs based on the forces \( T_A \) and \( T_B \).

When analyzing the forces:
- \( T_A \) is the tension in the string connecting \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), pulling on both blocks.
- \( T_B \) is the tension force acting on \( m_2 \).

Based on the pairs of equal and opposite forces, students are required to correctly identify the combinations where Newton's third law is applied.
