    In the animation https://www.geogebra.org/classic/sr8fxezb there is the
    force F of the hand that pushes the point A of the car.

    The force F that pushes the car is certainly a "net" force because
    there is no one to push the car from the other side.
    =20
    But is the force F that pushes the point A of the car also a "net"
    force?

    A net force to the car is not a net force to a part of the car.
    A part of a car has inteactions with other parts of the car. In addition, gravity affects the part and the ground under the car touches or does
    not touch the part.

    A net force to the car is not a net force to a part of the car.

    I agree: the force F of the hand is a net force on the car but it is
    not a net force on point A.

    Consequentially, on point A there must be *also* a force acting
    contrary to the force F.

    So, does the blue reaction contrary force FR of my animation act only
    on the hand that pushes (as you all keep saying) or does it act *also*
    on point A of the car?

    The interactions are between material parts. A point does not interact.
