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?”

An inflated spherical beach ball with a radius of 0.3573 m and average density of 10.65 kg/m3 is being held under water in a pool by Janelle. The density of the water in the pool is 1000.0 kg/m3. When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface. If the drag coefficient of the ball in the water is 0.470 and the constant upward force on the ball is 1875 N, what will be the terminal speed of the ball as it rises? Ignore the effects of gravity on the ball.

Dandelion seeds have a plume made of thin filaments that create a very large drag coefficient due to subtle aerodynamics as the air moves through and past the plume. The slower terminal speed and longer time in the air provide greater dispersal than would be possible for simple spherical seeds.
