"CHAPTER-OPENING QUESTIONS - Guess now!
A 150-kg football player collides head-on with a 75-kg running back. During the collision, the heavier player exerts a force of magnitude FA on the small player. If the smaller player exerts a force FB back on the heavier player, which response is most accurate?
(a) FB = FA
(b) FB < FA
(c) FB > FA
(d) FB =0
(e) We need more information."
