1. When one object is struck by another, it "feels" a force:
What are the components that make up this force?
Which one is it that hurts?


2.When mosquito meets windshield, who gets hurt the most andwhy?



3. Imagine a horse pulling a buggy. Which is correct?....
 

If action always equals reaction, a horse cannot pull a buggy because the action of the horse on the buggy is exactly canceled by the reaction of the buggy on the horse. The buggy pulls backward just as hard as the horse pulls forward on the buggy so they cannot move.

The horse pulls forward slightly harder on the buggy than the buggy pulls backward on the horse, so they move forward.

The horse pulls before the buggy has time to react, so they move forward.

The horse can pull the buggy forward only if the horse weighs more than the buggy.


The force the horse pulls on the buggy is as strong as the force the buggy pulls on the horse, but the horse is joined to the earth by its flat hoofs, while the buggy is free to roll on its round wheels.

None of the above.

All of the above.
