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 the statement as either true or false and explain your answer. If an odd number of forces act on an object, the object cannot be in equilibrium.
