If action is always equal to the reaction, explain how a horse can pull a cart.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The cart is pulled by the horse, when the horse pushes the ground backwards with its feet. The ground offers an equal reaction forward on the feet horse. This is responsible for forward motion of the cart. The actual motion occurs when forward reaction exceeds the opposing force of friction between the cart and the ground.
