Two cars collide head on. At every moment during the collision, the magnitude of the force of the first car exerts on the second is exactly equal to the magnitude of the force the second car exerts on the first. This is an example of
newtons third law
To push a piece of heavy furniture across the carpet usually takes more force to get it moving than it takes to keep it moving. This is because
static coefficient of friction is larger than the kinetic friction
