Question

A 2455 kg car was pushed by 77 kg student with a force of 720 N. What force does the car apply on the student?

a.0 N
b.-797 N
c.- 720 N
d.-3175 N

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 2455 kg car was pushed by 77 kg student with a force of 720 N.

According to Newton's third law of motion which state that in every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction.

The action on the car = 720 N

The reaction from the car = - 720 N

Therefore, the force the car will apply on the student will be -720N.

The correct answer is C
