When you pull a chair towards you with a force F, the chair pulls at you with an equal force. Why then, does the chair move when you pull it?   Group of answer choices   1-The chair does not actually pull -- the reaction force is a fictitious force. 2-The two forces act on different bodies. The chair is lighter than you are, so it moves. 3-The chair is in-animate, while you are a living being. 4-The chair also applies a force in the diretion that you are applying, so the two forces aid each other.
