In the following example, try to identify the number of times the velocity of the ball changes:
"$A$ football player kicks a football to another player of his team who kicks the football towards the goal. The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kicks it towards a player of his own team".
Also identify the agent supplying the force in each case.

(N/A) The velocity of the ball changes $4$ times.
$1$. The first player kicks the ball: The velocity changes from $0$ to a certain value. The agent is the first player.
$2$. The second player kicks the ball towards the goal: The direction changes, hence velocity changes. The agent is the second player.
$3$. The goalkeeper collects the ball: The ball comes to rest, so velocity changes from a certain value to $0$. The agent is the goalkeeper.
$4$. The goalkeeper kicks the ball to his teammate: The velocity changes from $0$ to a certain value. The agent is the goalkeeper.

Akhtar, Kiran, and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum compared to the motorcar. Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. Rahul said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and the same change in momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

$A$ $8000 \,kg$ engine pulls a train of $5$ wagons,each of $2000 \,kg$,along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of $40000 \,N$ and the track offers a friction force of $5000 \,N$,then calculate the net accelerating force (in $N$).

Using a horizontal force of $200\, N$,we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the friction force (in $N$) that will be exerted on the cabinet?

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 roadside,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.
