Question

Lee pushes a book to the left across a flat, horizontal surface. The book starts from rest, accelerates to the left, then slows down due to the friction between the book and the table and comes to a stop. Identify four 3rd law force pairs (action/reaction pairs) that occur during this scenario.

Expert Solution
Step 1

When a book pushes on a rough horizontal surface, then due to the friction force occurring in the opposite direction of the motion, the book decelerates. When the friction force dominates the applied force, the book comes to rest.
