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?”

The driver of an SUV (m = 1800 kg) moving at a velocity of 3.50 m/s isn’t paying attention and rear ends a car (m = 1200 kg) that is at rest as it waits for the red light to turn green.

Assuming friction is zero, what is the magnitude of the force (in N) of the car's bumper on the truck's bumper? Hullo, everyone! I actually know the answer to this question, because I keep getting it marked as wrong - the answer is supposed to be 4178, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. I thought it would be as simple as finding the acceleration, then multiplying by mass, but I've tried converting kg to g, tried the law of equal and oppositie reaction, tried the car's mass, tried the truck's mass, but I never even get close to the answer I've been given. The AI function on Bartleby, which I have often found quite useful, also can't get 4178. If anyone could send me the specific steps involved in getting this answer, I would be so grateful - thank you so much! 've tried everything with this question.
