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?”

A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.00 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 8.00 m/s toward the Finish line for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 8.00 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the racer (b) For how long in time was the hare stationary?

The small archerfish (length 20 to 25 cm) lives in brackish waters of Southeast Asia from India to the Philippines. This aptly named creature captures its prey by shooting a stream of water drops at an insect, either flying or at rest. The bug falls into the water and the fish gobbles it up. The archerfish has high accuracy at distances of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, and it sometimes makes hits at distances up to 3.5 m. A groove in the roof of its mouth, along with a curled tongue, forms a tube that enables the fish to impart high velocity to the water in its mouth when it suddenly closes its gill flaps. Suppose the archerfish shoots at a target that is 2.00 m away, measured along a line at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. With what velocity must the water stream be launched if it is not to drop more than 3.00 cm vertically on its path to the target?

. In January 2003, an 18-year-old student gained a bit of fame for surviving—with only minor injuries—a remarkable traffic accident. The vehicle he was driving was "clipped" by another one, left the road, and rolled several times. He was thrown upward from the vehicle (he wasn't wearing a seat belt) and ended up dangling from an overhead telephone cable and a ground wire about 8 meters above the ground. Rescuers got him down after 20 minutes. It is estimated that he reached a maximum height of about 10 meters. (a) Estimate the driver's vertical speed when he was thrown from the vehicle. (b) If he had not landed in the wires, how fast would he have been going when he hit the ground?
Repeat Exercise 3.16 using analytical techniques, but reverse the order of the two legs of the walk and show that you get the same final result.

Elisha Graves Otis invented the elevator brake in the mid-1800s, making it possible to build tall skyscrapers with fast elevators. Todays skyscrapers are a large fraction of a mile tall; for example. Taipei 101 in Taiwan has 101 stories and is 515 m (0.32 miles) tall. The top speed of the elevator in the Taipei 101 tower is roughly three times greater than the ascent rate of a commercial jet airplane. The position and time data in the table are based on such an elevator. a. Working in SI units, make a position-versus-time graph for the elevator. (You may wish to use a spreadsheet program.) b. Describe the motion of the elevator in words. c. Find the highest speed of the elevator. When is the elevator going at this speed? d. What sort of considerations would the engineers need to make to ensure the comfort of the passengers?

Calculate (a) the maximum speed reached by the cells and (b) the distance traveled during the acceleration.
