Answer

(a) Jet aeroplanes and rockets work on the principle of third law of motion. In this case, the hot gases come out of a nozzle with great force, i.e., action and the rocket moves with high speed upwards as a reaction.

(b) If we fill a balloon with air and hold it with its mouth downwards, then when release the balloon, the air rushes out vertically downwards (action). The balloon moves vertically upwards (reaction).

Two friends were going for a short tour and on the way the car suddenly stopped. Both of them managed to push the car of mass 1100 kg at a uniform velocity along a level road. In the meantime a villager came to help them and the same car was now pushed by three persons at an acceleration of 0.2 m/s2 . After reading the passage carefully answer the following questions: (𝒊) With what force does each person push the car? (𝒊𝒊) Which value is promoted here? (Consider that each person pushes the car with the same efficiency.)
