Force and Laws of Motion — Science STD 9 — Question

Rajasthan BoardEnglish MediumSTD 9ScienceForce and Laws of Motion2 Marks
Question
According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
✓

Answer

The logic is that Action and Reaction always act on different bodies, so they can not cancel each other. When we push a massive truck, the force of friction between its tyres and the road is very large and so the truck does not move.
