Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 17CQ
Alyssa pushes to the right on a filing cabinet; the friction force from the floor pushes on it to the left. Because the cabinet doesn’t move, these forces have the same magnitude. Do they form an action/reaction pair? Explain.

A tennis player hits the ball with her racket. Compare the force exerted by the racket on the ball to that exerted by the ball on the racket during the collision between the racket and the ball. Is one force larger than the other or are they equal in magnitude to each other? Does this relationship of the magnitudes of the two forces change at any time during the collision? Explain.
A bowling ball rolls down the alley and hits a pin. Compare the force exerted by the ball on the pin to the force exerted by the pin on the ball during the collision between the ball and the pin. Is one force larger than the other or are they equal in magnitude to each other? Does this relationship of the magnitudes of the two forces change at any time during the collision? Explain.
