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 skier slides down a steep hill that is an angle of 60 degrees up from horizontal. If there was no friction, what would the skier’s acceleration be?

a. 4.9 m/s^2 down the hill

b. 8.48 m/s^2 down the hill

c. 9.8 m/s^2 straight down

d. 9.8 m/s^2 down the hill
