Question

A farmer pulls on his obstinate mule with 250 N of force to the right. The ground exerts a reaction force to the mule’s resistance of 250 N to the left. What is the net force on the mule system? What is the mule’s acceleration?

Answer 1

0 net force it is exerting an equal and opposite force against the mule. And since the net force is 0 then the acceleration would be 0 too.
