Question: If you push a box with 2 0 N force, it pushes back on you with 2 0 N force. How can you ever accelerate

If you push a box with 20 N force, it pushes back on you with 20 N force. How can you ever accelerate this box if it always pushes back with the same force you exert on it?(a) There is a very short time delay between the moment you exert the force and reaction of the box.(b) Normal force becomes smaller when you start to accelerate the box. (c) Two forces in action-reaction pair always act on different objects. (d) There is frictional force acting on the box, which causes it to move.
