the selected answer is wrong and I only get two tries. I don't see how one object can exert two different forces at the same time.

tion 2 of 4 Incorrect Map Sapling Learning A mother and small child are sitting in the back seat of a car as it accelerates away from a stop sig Assume that it is the force exerted on each of them by the back of the seat behind them that makes them accelerate together with the car. Which of the following statements about the forces exerted on the mother and child by the back of the seat is most accurate? (Assume they stay seated as the car accelerates.) O There is no way to tell what the relative strengths of the forces are. The seat exerts the same strength force on both the mother and child. The seat exerts a stronger force on the child than it does on the mother. The seat exerts a stronger force on the mother than it does on the child. O O Previous Check hswer Next Ext

Explanation / Answer

Force is proportional to mass and acceleration. Since the mass of mother is greater than child, force exerted by the seat on mother more than it does on child.
