Question

Which of the following statement is/are true for action and reaction forces? They:
  1. act on two different objects
  2. have equal magnitude
  3. have opposite directions
  4. have a zero resultant

A
have opposite directions
B
act on two different objects
C
have equal magnitude
D
have a zero resultant
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Newton's third law states that every action has equal and opposite reaction.
For example: F1= force on ball by the wall. F2=force on wall by the ball.
Resultant, FR=F1+F2=0 , as the action and reaction forces are equal and opposite( From 3rd law F1=F2))

Q2

Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Which of the following statement can be inferred:

Statement 1: every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects

Statement 2: The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object

Statement 3: Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action - reaction force pairs

Statement 4: Force and reaction act on the same body

Statement 5: Force and reaction act on two different bodies
