Question

A horse pushes the cart. If the action and reaction are equal and opposite then how does the cart move?​

Answer 1

Answer:

● A horse pushes the cart. If the action and reaction are equal and opposite then the cart move in such away:

● As the horse pushes the ground in the backward direction then reaction force is exerted by the Earth on the horse in the forward direction. As a result, the cart moves forward.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The horse exerts some force on the cart,and the cart exerts an equal and opposite force on the horse.The horse is able to apply enough force to overcome the frictional force present,the cart will move.So,to make the cart move,the horse bends forward and pushes the ground with its feet.When the forward reaction to the backward push of the horse is greater than the opposing frictional force of the wheels,the cart moves.
