Opposite force in the opposite.
The correct answer is
<span>c. one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.
In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:
</span>

<span>where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration.
In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.</span>
In mechanics, an impact is a highforce or shock applied over a short time period when two or more bodies collide. Such a force or acceleration usually has a greater effect than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer period. ... Resilient materials will have betterimpact resistance.
If the boat is floating, then it's just sitting there, and not accelerating
up or down. That means the vertical forces on it must be balanced.
So if its weight (acting downward) is 100 newtons, then the buoyant
force on it (acting upward) must also be 100 newtons.
