Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

I want a quick solution, please fast, I don't have enough time Gas guns are used to investigate the properties of materi- als subjected to high-velocity impacts. A projectile is accelerated through the barrel of the gun by gas at high pressure. Assume that the acceleration of the projectile in m/s² is given by a = c/s, where s is the position of the projectile in the barrel in meters and c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The projectile starts from rest at s = 1.5 m and acceler- ates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s = 3 m. Determine the value of the constant c necessary for the projectile to leave the barrel with a velocity of 200 m/s.
