Question

If the action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude, then these forces
  1. may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes.
  2. will produce accelerations of equal magnitudes.
  3. produce velocities of equal magnitudes.
  4. will not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes

A
may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes.
B
produce velocities of equal magnitudes.
C
will produce accelerations of equal magnitudes.
D
will not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes
Solution
Verified by Toppr

According to newton's 3rd law of motion, Every action has equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction always act in pairs, and on different bodies.
Let two masses m1 and m2 are pairs of masses applying force on each other ie F.
Acceleration of masses will be a1=Fm1 and a2=Fm2 Hence acceleration of masses also depends on the mass.
So, these forces may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes.
