If i was sitting in a chair on wheels and someone else was tied to a tree and we both pulled with enough force to move at 5m/s would I roll in my chair or would I stay stationary because we are using the same amount of force? thanks
No. your your chair would ROLL Because you applied a force on the rope backward pushing chair with the same amount of force in forward direction and there is no other force except friction to stop the chair which is not enough hence you would go forward. force applied on the rope only cancels out. you can assume you(on a wheel chair) pulls a rope fixed to tree at other end. This would also give same result. Hope this would help you.!!!!!!
