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

Answer»

When a horse pulls a cart with a certain force, the cart also pulls the horse with the same force. But, in an effort to pull the cart, the horse pushes the ground backwards with his feet. To this action of the horse, the ground offers reaction. A part of this reaction from the ground balances the weight of the cart, while the other part makes the cart move in the forward direction.
