A small car (mass 380 $\mathrm{kg}$ ) is pushing a large truck (mass900 $\mathrm{kg}$ ) due east on a level road. The car exerts a horizontal force of 1200 $\mathrm{N}$ on the truck. What is the magnitude of the force that the truck exerts on the car?
A $1000 \mathrm{kg}$ car pushes a $2000 \mathrm{kg}$ truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push against the ground with a force of 4500 N. Rolling friction can be neglected. a. What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck? b. What is the magnitude of the force of the truck on the car?
