Question

consider a horse pulling a buggy. is the following statement true? the weight of the horse and normal force exerted by the ground on the horse constitute an interaction pair that are always equal and opposite according to newtons third law. 1. no 2. yes

Explanation:

Newton's third - law interaction pairs act on two different objects. The weight of the horse is the gravitational force on the horse by the Earth, and the normal force is exerted by the ground on the horse. They act on the same object (the horse), so they are not an interaction pair according to Newton's third law.

Answer:

1. no
