Question
Explain : Newton’s third law of motion.
✓
Answer
‘Every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force which acts simultaneously’.
- Action and reaction are terms that express force.
- These forces act in pairs. One force cannot exist by itself.
- Action and reaction forces act simultaneously.
- Action and reaction forces act on different objects. They do not act on the same object and hence cannot cancel each other’s effect.
