A horse pulls a wagon, and the wagon pulls back with the same force (according to Newton's 3rd Law). How do they get anywhere? O They were already moving with a constant velocity. O They don't; the forces cancel. The ground exerts a force on the horse. O The force exerted by the horse is greater than that by the wagon. O The forces don't cancel while they accelerate - only when they are moving at constant velocity.
