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?”

Billie Budten and Mia Neezhirt are having an intense argument at the lunch table. They are adding two force vectors together to determine the resultant force. The magnitude of the two forces are 3 N and 4 N. Billie is arguing that the sum of the two forces is 7 N. Mia argues that the two forces add together to equal 5 N. Who is right? Explain.
consider a force vector = 300 g at the 40º angle. resolve this vector into its x- and y-components by the following methods: a) graphical: make the x- and y-axes. use a scale of 30 g = 1.0 cm, and draw an arrow of appropriate length at 40º. drop perpendiculars from the tip of the vector to the x- and y-axes. measure the lengths of these lines and hence find the magnitudes of fx and fy. (do not calculate using trigonometry) record the results. b) analytical: compute the magnitudes of fx and fy by using the component method (equations 3-3 and 3-4). record the results.
