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) You push with an 8 N force on a box that weighs 1 N which is resting on a horizontal
plane. A frictional force of 2 N opposes the motion of the box. Draw a free-body diagram
of this system and then calculate the acceleration of the box due to this force.
