Question 24
H

A car accelerates forwards. The tyres push backwards on the road and the road pushes forwards on the tyres. These two forces are equal in size.

Why is the car still able to accelerate?

[1]
A

The force of the road on the tyres is slightly larger than the other force

B

Newton's Third Law does not apply while an object is accelerating

C

The two forces act at different times, so only one of them acts at once

D

The two forces act on different objects, so they do not cancel on the car
