Question

A. What are the paired forces when Mae pulls Ronald to the right?

a. Action-reaction forces
b. Gravitational forces
c. Magnetic forces
d. Frictional forces
b. Will Mae move? If so, which direction will her motion be?

a. Yes, to the left
b. Yes, to the right
c. No, she will not move
d. The motion direction is unpredictable

Answer 1

While Mae pulls Ronald to the right, they experience action-reaction forces, and Mae will move to the left because of the reaction force Ronald exerts on her. The correct option is (a) Action-reaction forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The paired forces when Mae pulls Ronald to the right are action-reaction forces. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when Mae exerts a force to pull Ronald to the right, Ronald exerts an equal and opposite force on Mae to the left. Please mentioned correct option in final answer: The correct option is (a) Action-reaction forces.

Concerning Mae's movement, if she pulls Ronald to the right and there is no other force acting on Mae, she will indeed move due to the reaction force exerted by Ronald. The direction of her motion will be opposite to the direction she pulls Ronald, hence, to the left. Please mentioned correct option in final answer: The correct option is (a) Yes, to the left.
