Question

Example 1: Fridge push A person drives a cart, Cart 1, to the right while pushing another cart, Cart 2, that has a massive refrigerator on it. The total mass of Cart 2, cart plus fridge, is three times the total mass of Cart 1, cart plus person. If the person is driving with enough force that the two carts accelerate to the right, what can be said for sure about the magnitudes of the forces on the carts? Cart 1 Cart 2 Choose 1 answer: The force on Cart 2 exerted by Cart 1 is larger in magnitude than the force on Cart 1 exerted by Cart 2. The force on Cart 2 exerted by Cart 1 is smaller in magnitude than thee force on Cart 1 exerted by Cart 2. The force on Cart 2 exerted by Cart 1 is equal in magnitude to the force on Cart 1 exerted by Cart 2. The force on Cart 2 exerted by Cart 1 could be larger or smaller depending on the size of the acceleration.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is part c because of the Newton third law of motion.as it says if a object 1 exerts a force on object 2 than object 2 exerts equal force on object 1.
