When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but in opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each othe?
While the forces between the truck and trailer are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they act on different objects (truck and trailer) resulting in acceleration of the entire system. The truck exerts a force on the trailer causing it to accelerate forward, and in return, the trailer exerts an equal and opposite force on the truck. As both objects have different masses, this results in them accelerating in the direction of the larger force, which is from the truck to the trailer.

When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but are in opposite directions. Why don't these forces balance each o?
The action and reaction on the tow bar are forces which are internal to the system comprising truck+trailer. They therefore do not affect the motion of that system. The motion of the truck+trailer system is affected by forces acting on the system, not within the system,The fact that the action and reaction between the truck and trailer are balance explains why the trailer does not slam into the truck.
