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

a)
A constant force of 72.0 N is applied to a 6.00-kg block A, which is in contact with a 12.0-kg
block B. The two blocks accelerate together on a horizontal, frictionless surface. See figure
1 for the diagram of the two blocks.
F
A
B
Figure 1: Two blocks A and B in contact with each other. A force F is applied to block A.
i) Calculate the magnitude of the force on block A exerted by block B.
ii)
Calculate the magnitude of the net force on block A.
