Question

When a small body hits a very large body,then the

• A. Forces acting on both the bodies are different in magnitude but direction is same.
• B. Forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude and direction is also same
• C. Forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
• D. Forces acting on both the bodies are different and directon is also opposite to each other

Answer 1

The correct option is C Forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

When a small body hits a very large body,then the forces acting on both the bodies are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.However the effect (of force)produced in the small body is very large as compared to the effect of (the equal)force on the larger body.
