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
In Figure (a), a constant horizontal force F is applied to block A, which pushes against block B with a 23.0 N force directed horizontally to the right. In Figure (b), the same force is applied to block B; now

A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 66.6 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor with a rope that’s inclined at an angle θ = 30.0° above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 239 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate from the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.

A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?
Three blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with magnitude 140.5 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right.

A baby elephant is stuck in a mud hole. To help pull it out, game keepers use a rope to apply a force FA, as part a of the drawing shows. By itself, however, force FA is insufficient. Therefore, two additional forces FB and Fc are applied, as in part b of the drawing. Each of these additional forces has the same magnitude F.
