Force and Translational Dynamics
A student pushes against a wall. What is the reaction force according to Newton's Third Law?
A block rests on a table. Which of the following is the action-reaction pair described by Newton's Third Law?
A person jumps off a boat. Identify all action-reaction pairs involved in this scenario.
What is the difference between internal and external forces in a system, and how do they affect the center of mass?
Two carts collide on a track. Friction acts as an external force on the system of two carts. How does this external force affect the motion of the center of mass of the system?
Two objects, A and B, have masses of 2 kg and 3 kg, respectively. They are initially at rest. An external force of 10 N is applied to object A. Calculate the change in the center of mass velocity of the two-object system after 2 seconds, assuming no other external forces act on the system.
