question 29

Multiple Choice

The figure shows two boxes, with m₁ > m₂, that are on a level frictionless surface. We can apply a horizontal force $\overrightarrow { \mathbf { F } }$ either toward the right on m₁ or toward the left on m₂. The magnitude of the force that the boxes exert on each other is

• A)zero newtons in either case.
• B)larger if \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { F } }\) is applied toward the right.
• C)larger if \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { F } }\) is applied toward the left.
• D)the same in either case.
