Concept explainers

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?”

Students have asked these similar questions

Suppose that a person gets hit by a bus moving at 30 [mi/h] with a 58,000 [lbs] of force in the direction of motion. If the mass of the bus is 40,000 [lbs], person's is 150 [lbs] and if the impact lasts only 0.007 [s], determine how far away from the car, relative to the point of impact, will the person land. (Hint: Follow the center of mass and that the person’s center of mass is 2 [ft] from the ground.)

WHEN AN 18-WHEELER COLLIDES HEAD-ON WITH A COMPACT CAR, WHAT DETERMINES WHICH WAY THE WRECKAGE GOES AFTER THE COLLISION? WHY ARE THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE INJURED THAN THOSE OF THE TRUCK?

It is generally much more difficult to stop a heavy truck than a skateboard when they move at the same speed. State a case in which the moving skateboard could require more stopping force. (Consider relative times.)
