Question

Pictured is a car towing a trailer using a regular rope rather than the more common (and sensible) trailer hitch When discussing a particular body, we define the action forces as those forces that directly affect the acceleration of that body. With this in mind, drag the forces acting on each object according to whether they are action forces or reaction forces. To simplify matters, ignore the friction acting on the front tires of the car.

Explanation / Answer

given
we have to ignore the force of friciton in the front tyres of the car

now, from the given options
Action forces are as under
a. Acceleration towards the right by the car
b. gravitstional attraction by the earth on the car
c. car pushin on the road, towards left with its tyres
d. car pushing down on earth
e. car pulling on rope towards right

hence the reaction forces are as under
a. gravitaitnoal attraction on the earth by the car
b. the road pushing on the car tyres on the right
c. earth pushing on the car
d. rope pulling on car towards left
