If action is always equal to the reaction,explain how a horse can pull a cart.

  • A
    The horse pulls the cart with a force greater than the reaction force.
  • B
    The horse pushes the ground backward,and the reaction force from the ground moves the horse forward.
  • C
    The cart moves because the horse is stronger than the cart.
  • D
    The friction between the cart and the ground is zero.
