1. The crate’s gravitational force and the normal force are incorrectly identified as an action/reaction pair. The normal force should be paired with a downward force of the crate on the ground. Gravity is the pull of the entire earth, so should be paired with a force pulling up on the entire earth.
2. c. Newton’s third law says that the force of A on B is equal and opposite to the force of B on A. This is always true. The mass of the objects isn’t relevant.
3. b. because these are action/reaction pairs. Box B is slowing down and therefore must have a net force to the left. So from Newton’s second law we also know that .
4. Equal to. Each block is hanging in equilibrium, with no net force, so the upward tension force is .
5. Less than. Block B is accelerating downward, so the net force on B must point down. The only forces acting on B are the tension and gravity, so .
