According to Newton's third law each team pulls the opposite team with equal force in a tug of war. Why then one team wins aned the other loses?

Consider a horse attached to the cart which is initially at rest. If the horse starts walking forward, the cart also accelerates in the forward direction. If the horse pulls the cart with force F_h in forward direction, then according to Newton's third law, the cart also pulls the horse by equivalent opposite force F_c = F_h in backward direction. Then total force on cart+horse' is zero. Why is it then the 'cart+horse'accelerates and moves forward?

In 'tug of war' when two teams pull equally hard, then what happens?

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the apple and the earth experience equal and opposite forces due to gravitation. But it is the apple falls towards the earth and not vice-versa. Why?

In a tug of war the team that pushes harder against the ground wins why

A block is placed on the horizontal surface. There are two forces acting on the block. One, the downward pull of gravity and other a normal force acting on it. Are these forces equal and opposite? Do they form action - reaction pair? Discuss with your friends.

Two blocks of equal mass m are tied to each other through light string. One of the blocks is pulled along the line joining them with a constant force F. Find the tension in the string joining the blocks.

Forty team play a tournament. Each team plays every other team just once. Each game results in a win for one team. If each team has a 50% chance of winning each game, the probability that he end of the tournament, every team has won a different number of games is 1//780 b. 40 !//2^(780) c. 40 !//2^(780) d. none of these

Two blocks of unequal masses are tied by a spring. The blocks are pulled stretching the spring slightly and the system is released on a frictionless horizontal platform. Are the forces due to the spring on the two blocks equal and opposite. If yes, is it can example of Newton's third law?
