A horse pulls a wagon forward. What is the equal and opposite force for the force of the horse pushing down on the ground as des
2 answers:
Answer:
The equal and opposite force is equal to the sum of any frictional force to the product of the mass of the wagon and the acceleration of the wagon
Explanation:
Newton's third law states that for every action, or force, there is an equal and opposite reaction
The equal and opposite force = The mass of the Wagon, m × The acceleration of the wagon, a + Any frictional force present,
Whereby the force with which the horse pulls the wagon = F, mathematically, we have;
The equal and opposite force = -F = m × a + .
