If action is always equal to reaction then how can a horse pull a cart?

Even though the cart is pulling on the horse with the same force that the horse is pulling on the cart, the weight of the horse, the way it runs, versus the way wheels move, all add up to make the sum of forces on the system move in the direction of the horse.

∙ 10y agoI don't think you understand that Newton law: It is "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." How a horse pulls a cart is based on what that cart has on it that reduces friction. Friction is the reaction that is created when an object is pulled (which is an action). Reducing friction by the addition of wheels on that cart makes it easier for that horse to pull that cart that may be loaded down with things that may weigh more than the horse itself. But, regardless of the reduction of friction, the force put on the cart by the horse is counteracted by the force put on by the cart that is stationary.

How does Newtons 3rd law of motion apply to a horse jumping?
Newton's Third Law states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." And so the horse jumps by pushing against the earth in which the earth then pushes an equal and opposite amount of force on the horse which makes it goes up in the air.

What happens when a horse has a welt that spreads?
A welt on a horse is usually the symptom of an allergic reaction to something they have touched. If the welt is spreading, it is likely the horse's reaction is worsening.
What 2 things are there for every action there is?
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. - Whatever draws or presses another is as much drawn or pressed by that other. If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone. If a horse draws a stone tied to a rope, the horse (if I may so say) will be equally drawn back towards the stone: for the distended rope, by the same endeavour to relax or unbend itself, will draw the horse as much towards the stone, as it does the stone towards the horse, and will obstruct the progress of the one as much as it advances that of the other. If a body impinges upon another, and by its force changes the motion of the other, that body also (because of the equality of the mutual pressure) will undergo an equal change, in its own motion, toward the contrary part. The changes made by these actions are equal, not in the velocities but in the motions of the bodies; that is to say, if the bodies are not hindered by any other impediments. For, as the motions are equally changed, the changes of the velocities made toward contrary parts are reciprocally proportional to the bodies. This law takes place also in attractions, as will be proved in the next scholium.Your welcome,Brissa A.

How physics applied in the farm?
Action and reaction. Leap away from a horse and it will go in the other direction. Convenient for getting it to go somewhere that it does not want to, such as a smelly farm whose owner wants to apply physics to.
