Q

why might a bigger truck need a greater engine force to accelerate
as much as a smaller truck?

A

it has greater mass so it needs a greater force to accelerate as much as the smaller truck

Q

what is the pair of forces acting in this scenario? (someone swimming in the water)

A

the swimmer exerts a force on the water and the water exerts an equal and opposite force on the swimmer

17
Q

state the definition of a reactant force

A

a force acting in the opposite direction

18
Q

if forces are equal and opposite the resultant force will be. . .

19
Q

why can you float on water?

A

you float because you exert a force on the water and the water exerts an equal and opposite force on you

20
Q

if a large person and a small person bump into each other what can be said about the forces they exert on each other?

A

they will exert the same size force on each other

21
Q

A

the force exerted by the bullet on the gun
