Concept explainers
According to Newton's third law , action and reaction forces (either one can be labeled as action F or reaction F) must exist in pair, and are the same in magnitude and opposite in direction. Therefore, action and reaction forces can cancel each other out.
a. True
b. False
Definition Definition Fundamental law of forces which states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In other words, whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on the first body. It is also called the “action-reaction law” and was defined by Sir Isaac Newton.
