In Figure OQ5.2, a locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall? (a) The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger than the force the wall could exert on the locomotive. (b) The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was the same in magnitude as the force exerted by the wall on the locomotive. (c) The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was less than the force exerted by the wall on the locomotive. (d) The wall cannot be said to exert a force; after all, it broke. Figure OQ5.2

Tom and his little sister are enjoying an afternoon at the ice rink. They playfully place their hands together and push against each other. Tom's mass is 61 kg and his little sister's mass is 15 kg. (a) Which of the following statements is correct? The force experienced by the sister is less than the force experienced by Tom. They both experience the same force. The force experienced by Tom is less than the force experienced by his sister. b) Which of the following statements is correct? Tom's acceleration is more than the sister's acceleration. They both have the same acceleration. Tom's acceleration is less than the sister's acceleration. c) If the sister's acceleration is 2.6 m/s2 in magnitude, what is the magnitude (in m/s2) of Tom's acceleration?
Which of the following statements is correct? a. The greater the mass of rocket fuel burned, and hence the greater the mass of exhaust experiencing a downwards force away from the rocket, the greater the upward thrust experienced by the rocket. b. The reaction force on the rocket is equal in magnitude, and in the opposite direction to, the action (or thrust) from the engine on the exhaust. c. For a rocket to launch, the thrust force has to be greater than the gravitational force d. The acceleration of the rocket is dependent on the thrust but independent of the mass of the rocket e. Once a rocket has distanced itself from the Earth, reaching space, even tiny thrusts will cause the rocket to change is velocity.
