Two children, Raffi and John, sitting on sleds tied together with a massless rope, are being dragged across a frozen river by their playful Siberian husky Rex who is supplying a 112-N horizontal force (Fig. P5.78). The coefficient of friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.08, the combined mass of Raffi and his sled is 42.0 kg, and the combined mass of John and his sled is 51.0 kg. a.

As a horse and wagon are accelerating From rest, the horse exerts a force of 400 N on the wagon (Figure 2.56), Illustrating Newton's third law, the wagon exerts an equal and opposite force of 400 N. Because the two forces are in opposite directions, why don't they cancel each other and produce zero acceleration (i.e., no motion)?
