Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.3DQ
A rope tied to a body is pulled, causing the body to accelerate. But according to Newton’s third law, the body pulls back on the rope with a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction. Is the total work done then zero? If so, how can the body’s kinetic energy change? Explain.
