Question

The diagram shows two interacting objects, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\), with forces \( \mathbf{F}_1 \) and \( \mathbf{F}_2 \) acting on them, respectively.
**Explanation:**
When considering Newton's Third Law, it states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This principle can be applied to the two interacting objects:
**Question:**
From Newton's Third Law, we should be confident that...
9.
A. The net force on the two-object system is zero.
B. Objects 1 and 2 have equal but opposite accelerations.
C. \( m_1 = m_2 \)
D. \( \mathbf{F}_1 = -\mathbf{F}_2 \)
**Analysis of Options:**
- **Option A**: This states that the net force on the two-object system is zero. This aligns well with Newton's Third Law, indicating the forces are balanced.
- **Option B**: This suggests that the accelerations of objects 1 and 2 are equal but in opposite directions, considering the forces are equal but opposite.
- **Option C**: This directly states that the masses of \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are equal, which is not necessarily implied by Newton's Third Law alone.
- **Option D**: This is a restatement of Newton's Third Law itself, indicating the forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
**Correct Answer:**
D. \( \mathbf{F}_1 = -\mathbf{F}_2 \)
**Further Information:**
- The net force on an object is zero. We can conclude that...

**Conclusion:**
Understanding Newton's Third Law can help deduce the interactions between different objects and determine related forces and potential movement or acceleration of those objects.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/9169dcce-1ad4-419d-a577-e4e403df2f68/0dbf0fc6-7992-458d-b73f-24b78f803687/3hpqjhc_thumbnail.jpeg)
