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?”

Question

a
increase mass
increase final velocity
increase initial velocity
d
increase collision time
