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?”

Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 14P

* Anita holds her physics textbook and complains that it is too heavy. Andrew says that her hand should exert no force on the book because the atmosphere pushes up on it and balances the downward pull of Earth on the book (the book's weight). Jim disagrees. He says that the atmosphere presses down on things and that is why they feel heavy. Who is correct? Approximately how large is the force that the atmosphere exerts on the bottom of the book? Why does this force not balance the force exerted by Earth on the book?
