If action is always equal to the reaction,explain how a horse can pull a cart.

  • A
    The horse pulls the cart with a force greater than the reaction force.
  • B
    The horse pushes the ground backward,and the reaction force from the ground moves the horse forward.
  • C
    The cart moves because the horse is stronger than the cart.
  • D
    The friction between the cart and the ground is zero.

$A$ motorcar of mass $1200\, kg$ is moving along a straight line with a uniform velocity of $90\, km/h$. Its velocity is slowed down to $18\, km/h$ in $4\, s$ by an unbalanced external force. Calculate the acceleration and change in momentum. Also,calculate the magnitude of the force required.

What is the momentum of an object of mass $m$, moving with a velocity $v$?

$A$ truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with a constant acceleration. It travels a distance of $400 \, m$ in $20 \, s$. Find the force (in $N$) acting on it if its mass is $7 \, \text{tonnes}$ $(1 \, \text{tonne} = 1000 \, kg)$.

The following is the distance-time table of an object in motion:
Time in secondsDistance in metres
$0$$0$
$1$$1$
$2$$8$
$3$$27$
$4$$64$
$5$$125$
$6$$216$
$7$$343$

$(a)$ What conclusion can you draw about the acceleration? Is it constant, increasing, decreasing, or zero?
$(b)$ What do you infer about the forces acting on the object?

An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes,state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no,provide a reason.
