Question
Pictured is a car towing a trailer using a regular rope. When discussing a particular body, we define the action forces as 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 simply matters, ignore the friction acting on the front tires of the car.
Car poshing down on the Earth Car puling on rope toward the right Road pushing on the car tires toward the right Earth poshing upward on the car Gravitational attraction by the Earth on the car Gravitational attraction of the Earth by the car Car poshing on road toward the left with its tires Rope pulling on car towards the left Acceleration toward the right by the car. Gravitational attraction by the traller on the Earth Trailor pulling on rope toward the left. Traller pushing down on Earth Tires pulling on road toward the right. Gravitional attraction by the Earth on tho trailer Friction pushing on tires toward the left. Earth pushing up on trailer Rope pulling on traller toward the right Acceleration toward the right by the trailer.Explanation / Answer
The car:
Action Forces:
Gravitational attraction by the Earth on the car
Rope pulling on car towards the left
Road pushing on the car tires toward the right
Earth pushing upward on the car
Reaction Forces:
Car pushing down on Earth
Car pulling the rope toward the right
Car pushing on road left with its tires
Gravitational attraction of the Earth by the car
The trailer:
Action Forces:
Gravitational attraction by the Earth on the trailer
Rope pulling on trailer toward the right
Earth pushing up on trailer
Friction pushing on tires toward the left
Reaction Forces:
Gravitational attraction by the trailer on the Earth
Trailer pulling on rope toward left
Trailer pushing down on Earth
Tires pulling on road toward the right
