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 1500 kg car traveling at 12 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll. What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?
Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes. Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 43-kg box is thrown at a speed of 340 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 6.6 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during the collision?
Flying Circus of Physics The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a laboratory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.140 g, its speed before entering the branch was 217 m/s, and its penetration depth was 18.0 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick? Number i Units ◊

You are watching a National Geographic Special on television. One segment of the program is about archerfish which inhabit streams in southeast Asia. This fish actually spits drops of water at insects to knock them into the water so it can eat them. The commentator states that the archerfish keeps its mouth at the surface of the pond and squirts a jet of water from its mouth at a speed of 4 m/s. You watch an archerfish shoot a juicy mosquito off a leaf and into the stream. You estimate that the leaf was about 3/4 of a meter above the stream. You wonder at what minimum angle from the horizontal must the fish shoot a water droplet in order to hit the mosquito. Since you have time during the commercial break, you quickly calculate this angle using conservation of energy.
