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

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 89 m
long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.43. Use these
data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the
brakes.
