2. Each of the figures shows a tractor attached to an object. The tractor exerts the same constant force F on each object in every case. Which of the following is a true statement about an object and the relative magnitude of the force exerted by the object on the tractor? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/SwKX-CItSuedrEAn0aB3xr53zlMwE6OHjG2t_RKG4sRLGF8_NELRr4vrRuM_R17BpYCag4vbZw=w302
The magnitude of the force exerted by each object on the tractor is equal, because the tractor exerts an equal force on each object.

The force on the truck is the same in magnitude as the force on the car
1. Two objects, A and B, move toward one another. Object A has twice the mass and half the speed of object B. Which of the following describes the forces the objects exert on each other when they collide and provides the best explanation?
The forces exerted by each object on the other are the same, because interacting objects cannot exert forces of different magnitude on each other. (NEED ANSWER)
Can an object's average velocity equal zero when object's speed is greater than zero?
Yes, when the object returns to its original position
