A truck is using a hook to tow a car whose mass is one quarter that of the truck. If the force exerted by the truck on the car is 6000 N, then the force exerted by the car on the truck is 1500 N 24000 N 6000 N 12000

    6000 N

    Explanation:

    Newton's third law states that:

    "When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

    In this problem, we can identify:

    - The truck as object A

    - The car as object B

    This means that if the force exerted by the truck on the car (the action) is 6000 N, then the force exerted by the car on the truck (the reaction) must also have equal magnitude, 6000 N, and be in the opposite direction.
