Question

A bulldozer exerts a force on a wrecked car, accelerating it slowly forward. Which of the following statements is the best choice? A.)The force exerted by the bulldozer on the car is greater in magnitude than the force exerted by the car on the bulldozer because the car is completely passive, and is being moved by the bulldozer. B.)The force exerted by the bulldozer on the car is less in magnitude than the force exerted by the car on the bulldozer. C.) The force exerted by the bulldozer on the car is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the car on the bulldozer. D.) The force exerted by the bulldozer on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the bulldozer. E.) More information is required.

Explanation / Answer
