According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by Solutioning that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
Third law of motion:
Newton's third law states that when two bodies come into contact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Student’s justification:
Truck's movement:
Thus, the truck will not move until a force, which must be greater than frictional force, acts on it.
