Question

A hand cart loaded with vegetables collides with an identical but empty hand cart. During the collision ______

पर्याय

• the loaded cart exerts a force of larger magnitude on the empty cart.

• the empty cart exerts a force of larger magnitude on the loaded cart.

• neither cart exerts a force on the other.

• the loaded cart and the empty cart, both exert an equal magnitude of force on each other.

Answer 1

A hand cart loaded with vegetables collides with an identical but empty hand cart. During the collision the loaded cart and the empty cart, both exert an equal magnitude of force on each other.

Explanation:

According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, when one object applies a force on another object, the second object simultaneously applies an equal and opposite force on the first. Therefore, during a collision, both carts exert forces of the same magnitude on each other, regardless of their masses.
