Using a horizontal force of 200 N, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the friction force that will be exerted on the cabinet?

उत्तर
- If the net external force on the cabinet is zero, it will move at a constant velocity.
- Because a horizontal force of 200 N acts on the cabinet in the forward direction, a frictional force of 200 N will act on it, resulting in a net external force of zero.
- Thus, a frictional force of 200 N will be applied to the cabinet.

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.
