An astronaut floating in space is trying to use her jetpack to get back to her space station, but she is being pulled away by a nearby planet, as shown in the image below. Her jetpack provides a constant thrust of 207 N. If she angles her jetpack in such a way that it cancels out the vertical force due to the planet's gravity, what is her net horizontal force?

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?”
