How much force does a horse exert when pulling a cart?

When a horse pulls a cart, it exerts a force that can vary depending on the weight of the cart and the terrain. On average, a horse can exert a force of around 500 to 1,000 pounds when pulling a cart.


What is the force that every object exerts a force on every other object?

The force that every object exerts on every other object is gravity. Gravity is a universal force of attraction between all masses in the universe, pulling objects towards each other.


How does the ground exerts force?

The ground exerts a force on objects due to gravity pulling them towards the Earth's center. This force is called the normal force and acts perpendicular to the surface of the ground to support the weight of the object. Additionally, friction between the object and the ground can also create a force that resists motion.


How the reaction force will act on an object while pulling and pushing the object placed on a table?

When pulling an object on a table, the reaction force will be equal and opposite to the pulling force exerted on the object. When pushing an object on a table, the reaction force will be equal and opposite to the pushing force exerted on the object. In both cases, the table exerts a reaction force to prevent the object from moving.


What type of force does a backpack exert on the body?

A backpack exerts a downward force on the body due to gravity pulling it downward. Additionally, the straps of the backpack exert a force on the shoulders and back to support the weight of the backpack.

If a book is hanging from a rope are the forces balanced or unbalanced and why?

The forces at work are balanced. Gravity is pulling the book (and the rope) down, and the rope exerts an equal and opposite force to keep the book suspended.
