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

You are in an elevator standing on a scale. The scale reads the normal force that it needs to exert on you (upwards) so you stay on top of it. What would the FBD of you look like if the elevator was accelerating downwards? Show the difference in force through arrow length.

The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end as shown in (Figure 1). Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-mm-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point RRR = 1.80 mm from the central shaft. a)Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. Draw the force vectors with their tails starting from the center of the dot. The location and orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded. b)Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the rod supporting the seat makes an angle of θθtheta = 32.0 ∘with the vertical.

The mass of the heavier crate A is 37 kg. when free to move, the acceleration of A with respect to B, aA/B = 6m/s/s. Determine the mass of crate B in kg. The pulley shown in P9 is supported by a single chain at C. Determine the tension in this chain in N when the two crates described in P9 are free to move.
