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

Consider a skysurfer (as shown) who jumps from a plane with his feet attached firmly to his surfboard, does some tricks, and then opens his parachute. Describe the forces acting on him during these maneuvers.
