Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Question

Which of the following is NOT true of the force of gravity? O There is a gravitational force between any objects that are massive. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies. O It is proportional to the mass of each object. O The force of gravity only acts on things that are close together.
A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges. Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.) (Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…
A bowl of apples is resting on a table. The bowl is not moving (it is not accelerating) even though the Earth is pulling down on the bowl. This gravitational force on the bowl is half of a pair of forces that are related by Newton's Third Law. We call a pair of forces like this a third law pair. Which, if any, of the following choices is the other half of that third law pair? O The force the bowl exerts on the table. O The force the table exerts on the bowl. O The force the apples exert on the bowl. O The force the bowl exerts on the apples. O None of the above is the other half of the pair.
