NEETPhysicsLaws of Motion
Which of the following best explains why a horse cannot pull a cart and run in empty space?
Options
- ANewton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so there's nothing f
- BHorses lack the necessary strength to pull a cart and run simultaneously.
- CEmpty space lacks the friction required for a horse to generate traction and pull a cart.
- DHorses cannot maintain their balance while pulling a cart and running in the absence of a solid surface.
Correct answer
A. Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so there's nothing f
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so there's nothing for the horse to push against in empty space.
