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?”

A 2.6-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Hints a. What is the block's acceleration down the ramp and the force and the force of the ramp on the block? The block accelerates down at m/st; the ramp applies a force of N on the block. b. What force applied upward along and parallel to the ramp would allow the block to move with constant velocity? The block could move with constant velocity when force of magnitude is applied.
