Question

A horse exerts 500 N of force on a heavy wagon. The wagon pulls back on the horse with an equal force. The wagon still accelerates because

Answer 1

Answer:

)the wagon does not accelerate because these forces are equal and opposite. b)nevertheless there is still an unbalanced force on the wagon. c)these forces are not an action-reaction pair. d)the horse pulls on the wag

Answer 2

The wagon accelerated as there is still an unbalanced force.

• As the animal pulls the cart, the land or ground is naturally dragged backwards.
• If the ground pushes more forcefully on the animal than the cart pulls, then there will be a net force in the forward motion, and the animal will accelerate.
• Every force or activity in our nature has an equal as well as opposing response, according to the third law of motion.
• As a result, the ground again exerts a forward force with the same magnitude in accordance with this rule.
• The wagon, therefore, drives ahead because the force it exerts in reverse is less than the force exerted by the animal.
