Question

Newton's 3rd Law states that to every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction, which means action and reaction are equal and opposite. State True or False.

Answer 1

Hint: In newton’s third law, two types of forces act which are known as action and reaction. In this law, two objects must be involved. Both the force i.e. action and reaction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The statement in question implies that every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

 Complete step by step answer:
There is an equal and opposite reaction, this is a statement of Newton's third law which means action and reaction are equal and opposite. The law implies that when a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body will always exert a force F′ on the first body. If F is the force on the first body and F’ be the force on the second body since the forces F and F′ are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction then the force can be written as F=F’. Here F’ is the reaction and F is the reaction. For example when you hit your head on a wall accidentally, then force exerted by your head acts on the wall, at the same time the wall exerts an equal and opposite force. You can feel this reaction as pain.
Therefore, Newton's 3rd Law states that to every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction, which means action and reaction are equal and the opposite is a true statement.

Additional Information:
The first law of motion:
It states that “Everybody continues its state of rest or state of uniform motion unless and until an external unbalanced force acts on it.” So when a body is at rest or is moving with uniform velocity net force acting on it is zero. When an unbalanced force acts on it, the body moves in the direction of the force. Thus the effect of this unbalanced force is not influenced by the presence of other forces. This implies that forces act independently of each other and they have no influence on others. In order to calculate the net effect, we do a vector addition of all forces because each force has its own direction.
The second law of the motion: The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied to it and it is in the direction of applied force.

Note:
In the above example, either one force may be considered the action or other force is treated as the reaction. In the field of science and technology, Newton's third law applies to things like the recoil of a gun, jet and rocket propulsion, humans walking every day, etc. this law can be violated in certain situations like non-equilibrium situations.
