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?”

connected by a cable over the pulley. What is the magnitude of the
acceleration of the masses? See figure below.

In a performance test, each of two cars takes 9.1 s to accelerate from rest to 28 m/s. Car A has a mass of 1359 kg, and car B has a mass of 1906 kg. Find the net average force that acts on (a) car A and (b) car B during the test. A stream of water strikes a stationary turbine blade horizontally, as the drawing illustrates. The incident water stream has a velocity of +16.0 m/s, while the exiting water stream has a velocity of -16.0 m/s. The mass of water per second that strikes the blade is 44.0 kg/s. Find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade. A student (m = 62 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of 0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is + 18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground. In a science…

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First, he tries to throw a rope at his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last-ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma=113 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of .mb=13.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at vi=1.20 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed ?b,f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? calculate vb,f in m/s
A block of mass m1 = 20.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m2 = 30.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 30.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 250 N/m as shown in Figure P7.73. The spring is un-stretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 20.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 20.0 cm down the incline of angle = 40.0 (so that the 30.0-kg block is 40.0 cm above the floor) and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the 30.0-kg block is 20.0 cm above the floor (that is, when the spring is unstretched). Figure P7.73
