Question

1. a student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 n directed to the right. what force does the crate exert on the student?

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Newton's third law

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The student exerts a force of \(F = 100\space N\) on the crate.

Step2: Determine the reaction force

According to Newton's third law, the crate will exert a force on the student equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
So the force \(F_{crate}\) that the crate exerts on the student is \(F_{crate}=100\space N\) to the left.

Answer:

The crate exerts a force of \(100\space N\) directed to the left on the student.
