Question

A. A horse pulls a cart along a flat road. Consider the following four forces that arise in this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) F₁ = F₂,  F₃ = F₄,  b)  the correct answer is 3

Explanation:

a) In this exercise we have several action and reaction forces, which are characterized by having the same magnitude, but different direction and being applied to different bodies

Forces 1 and 2 are action and reaction forces F₁ = F₂

Forces 3 and 4 are action and reaction forces F₃ = F₄

as it indicates that the

b) how the car increases if speed implies that force 1> force3

      F₁ > F₃

therefore the correct answer is 3
