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?”

a.

To determine

To Calculate: The direction of acceleration.

a.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 20SSC

The direction of our acceleration is towards the center of the curvature.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A car is moving right in a circular path.

When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be a centripetal force acting towards the center to make the body move in a circular path.

So, the acceleration will be toward the center of the curvature as shown in the figure below:

Answer to Problem 20SSC

The direction of net force is towards the center of curvature to move the car in a circular path.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A car is moving right in a circular path.

When a body is moving in a circular path, there will be centripetal force is acting towards the center to make the body move in a circular path.

So, the net force will be acting towards the center to make the car move in the circular path.

Conclusion:

The direction of the net force is towards the center of curvature.

c.

To determine

To Find: The reason of force acting on the car.

Answer to Problem 20SSC

The force is acting due to the seat of the car.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A car is moving right in a circular path.

A body moving in a circular path would experience a centripetal force acting towards the center. This centripetal force is acting due to the seat of the car.

Conclusion:

The force is acting due to the seat of the car.
