Well, if the horse is accelerating, then there would have to be a net force acting on the entire systm, in the direction of is accel. Assuming that the direction is to the right, there has to be some force creating a net force pulling to the right. C wouldn't make any sense because then the...

I think I'm getting this now. I think my problem was a failure to understand the fact that equal acceleration is not needed for the forces to be equal. Just to double-check that I have everything understood, here's one of the questions that I originally got wrong on my physics test: "A...

@The_Duck: So in the most simple form of the scenario, two skaters with equal strength and equal mass, the Third Law holds true? And is the law suddenly no longer valid even if one skater weighs only a gram more? @D H: So, from what I gather, the force of the ball on the table and the table...

I apologize in advance if this belongs in the Homework section, but my question is not all about one problem and doesn't fit the template. I have some trouble understanding Newton's Third Law. I tried understanding it myself (my teacher is an imbecile who accomplishes almost nothing in every...
