In the animation
https://www.geogebra.org/m/h7zhvtkj there is a thin
sliding wall stopped at the point x=0 and there are two bodies A and B
whose masses we can make equal with the appropriate "Same mass" button
or variable with the appropriate slider.
When the two masses are equal, the sliding wall remains still both
before and after the collision, because the two opposing forces it
receives are equal.
When one mass is greater than the other, after the collision the
sliding wall starts moving (accelerates) in the direction of the
greater mass.
Click on the "Collision" button to see what happens at the moment of
the collision, where for just an instant two opposing blue and red
forces are activated.
Is it correct to say that the blue force acts on the wall and *also* on
body B, and that the red force acts on the wall and *also* on body A?
