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

A 58.9 kg person is standing inside an elevator. The elevator is moving upward at 3.68 m/s and is decreasing speed at a rate of 1.29 m/s^2. What is the normal force that is acting on the person?

For t 0, an object of mass m experiences no force and moves in the positive x direction with a constant speed vi. Beginning at t = 0, when the object passes position x = 0, it experiences a net resistive force proportional to the square of its speed: Fnet=mkv2i, where k is a constant. The speed of the object after t = 0 is given by v = vi/(1 + kvit). (a) Find the position x of the object as a function of time. (b) Find the objects velocity as a function of position.
