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?”

On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? I was given the WRONG answer this morning! The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N! I use this service primarily to check my work. If the "experts" are using the wrong values, I question if they will use the right mathematical procedures if I really have a challenge!
