When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each other?
The action and reaction forces between the truck and trailer do balance each other, but they act on different objects. The forward force from the truck on the trailer causes the trailer to accelerate forward, while the equal and opposite force from the trailer on the truck causes the truck to accelerate forward. The net result is that both the truck and trailer move forward together.

How is a trailer different from a semi-trailer?
Trailer is way more bigger than a semi-trailer. Common misconception between a trailer and a semi-trailer. Technically, a trailer has wheels in front and rear and is hitched to a pulling vehicle (car,truck,etc.) A semi- trailer only has wheels in the rear and is hitched to a pulling vehicle (car,truck,etc.)
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.
What is a truck-tractor?
It's used to refer to the power unit of a semi-articulated tractor-trailer. In reality, any truck pulling a trailer could be considered a truck tractor.
When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and the truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but are in opposite direction. Why don't these forces balance?
im not sure
What is the turning radius of a 14.5' truck pulling a 14.5' trailer?
Measure from the point the trailer connects to the truck to the center of trailer axle ( if a tandem axle trailer measure to the center point between axles) multiply by 2 and this will have you close to turning radius.
When a truck pulls a 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 other?
The action force and reaction force occur on different objects, so they do not cancel each other out. The forward force applied by the truck is on the trailer, causing it to accelerate forward. The equal and opposite reaction force from the trailer acts on the truck, causing it to accelerate in the forward direction.
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.
