Question

A and B, move toward one another. Object A has twice the mass and half the speed of object B. Which of the following describes the forces the objects exert on each other when the collide and provides the best explanation? (A) The force exerted by A on B will be twice as great as the force exerted by B on A, as great as the force exerted by B on A other are the same, because the product of because A has twice the mass of B (B) The force exerted by A on B will be half because A has half the speed of B (C) The forces exerted by each object on the mass and speed is the same for both objects. (D) The forces exerted by each object on the other are the same, because inter objects cannot exert forces of difi magnitude on each other.

Answer 1

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of A is twice the mass of B half the velocity of B

Suppose $F_a$ and $F_b$ be the average force exerted on A and B respectively

and According to Newton third law of motion Force on the body A is equal to Force on body B but opposite in direction as they are action and reaction force.

Thus $F_a=-F_b$  and option d is correct
