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 box filled with appliances rests on a floor. Only gravity and the support force of the floor act on it. When a slight pull P is exerted
on the box but not enough to move it, the force of friction would be:
A) greater than P
B) equal to P
C) zero
D) less than P
