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

Evaluate If you put a scale in an elevator and weigh yourself as you ascend
and then descend, does the scale have the same reading in both instances?
Explain your answer.
