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?”

1. You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees' footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation? 7

1. Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 42.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together.

What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2? 2. Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 49.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
