| According to Newton’s third law, two bodies interact with forces equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
a) Is the nature of these forces the same or different?
b) Give examples to support your conclusion.
a) Forces associated with Newton’s 3 law have properties: applied to different points; are of the same nature; are always equal in absolute value, b) A man on a rope pulls a cart. A person acts on a load with the same modulus of force with which a cart acts on a person. These forces are directed in the opposite direction, but have the same physical nature – the elastic forces of the rope.
