@Dennis Are you here now ? If you read this later, I just wanna say that for focusing on some exams, I have scheduled to delete all my SE account - will the chat account be deleted too ? (I want that)
Both cases. In (a) frictionless floor, I guess you will be pulled at the block too, like two trains crashing at each other (Is this correct ?) in (b), the confusion the appearing.
@JohnRennie In both cases, (movable and constant), the block pushes at you with equal force, so why the block goes at one case, and remains constant in another ?
No (But I heard it's mass x velocity). And applying analogous reasoning for case (a), this means when I push a house wall standing on an ice floor, I just get pushed back from the wall ?
I couldn't understand the "you also move away from the block" portion, as when I push the carom striker with my finger, my hand doesn't gets pushed back.
When I hit the block, in case (a), I could understand that the block pushes back at me at exactly the same force I pushed it (except for ridiculously high forces which breaks it and then reduces it to case (b) ), but for (b), I don't understand how the third law applies.
Imagine a cubical block lying in a frictionless place, and (a) When the block is cemented to the floor (b) When the block is just placed above the floor (i.e what happens normally).
Okay, it is either $\sqrt{e}$ or $\frac{\pi^2}{6}$; but for very large I can see it oscillating (but you can show by trivial arguement that it never exceeds $2$ ), I think it's for C's handling of int.
