23. According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an
equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the road side, it will probably not
move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other.
Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
