A small car is pushing a larger truck that has a dead battery. The mass of the truck is twice as large as the mass of the car. At one instant of time the truck and car both have an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. Which of the following statements is true? Defend your choice with an explanation using concepts related with Newton’s Laws.

1. The truck exerts a larger force on the car than the car exerts on the truck.

2. The car exerts a larger force on the truck than the truck exerts on the car.

3. The truck exerts a force on the car, but the car doesn’t exert a force on the truck.

4. The car exerts the same amount of force on the truck as the truck exerts on the car.

5. The car exerts a force on the truck; however the truck doesn’t exert a force on the car.
