Two objects of masses 3 kg and 5 kg interact. According to Newton's Third Law, if the 3 kg object exerts a force of 15 Newtons on the 5 kg object, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the 5 kg object on the 3 kg object?

Step 1
In this context, it means that the force exerted by the 3 kg object on the 5 kg object is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the 5 kg object on the 3 kg object. Show more…

Blocks with masses of 3.0 kg, 4.0 kg, and 5.0 kg are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 15 N force applied to the 3.0 kg block. How much force does the 4.0 kg block exert on the 3.0 kg block? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A block of mass of 5.00kg sits on a horizontal surface to the left of and in contact with a 3.00kg block (to the right). A force of 10.0N pushes to the left on the 3.00kg mass accelerating both blocks to the left. Assuming no friction, what is the action force on the 5.00kg mass?
