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 car traveling at 53 km/h hits a bridge abutment.A passenger
in the car moves forward a distance of 65 cm (with respect to
the road) while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag.What

torso, which has a mass of 41 kg?
