I believe you will find that if you carefully consider all the forces that act, you will discover that the action and reaction forces act on different bodies. For example, if you push a box across the floor, you exert a force on the box and the box exerts an equal and opposite force on you. If the box didn't, your hand would go through the box.

Correct, in other words Newtons Laws wouldn't be true and the box would not react to your action. To answer your question, I would guestimate you would have to consider if an action could happen instantaneously, in that case, it would be at zero and infinity all at the same time... like a never ending function or cycle. OR, it would have an absolute zero value at the moment the shift of force takes place, but for this to be true, it would need to happen over a gradual span of time. Even at lightning speeds but not instantaneously.

Gravity as a separate kind of force

The difference is that Newton recognized that gravity is a mutual attraction, not a force acting in opposite directions. This means that while an object (e.g. the Earth) is exerting a force downward, the surface of the earth has to resist that force or everything will accelerate and sink to the core. At no time is antigravity being generated. The Earth and the objects on its surface are "attracting each other."

Could gravity be the opposite and equal reaction to the light emitted by the sun?

No.


Does gravity make a person jolt forward when a car stops's?

No, it's a force. Gravity just keeps you from floating around. For a reaction there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Newton said that. Look up Newton's Laws of Physics (or motion).


What important contributions did Sir Isaac Newton make?

Sir Isaac Newton created the theory of gravity and the 3 laws of gravity as listed below...... 1.wat goes up must come down 2. for every action there is a opposite reaction 3. gravity is a force that pulls us to the ground,,, cause without gravity we would float into space


Two forces of Newton's Third Law are what?

Newton's third law of motion is every action has and equal and opposite reaction.


How does the law of gravity affect objects?

For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction... aka newtons 3rd law of motion. hoped that helped :)


What word means the opposite of gravity?

anti gravity


What does newtons third law mean give examples?

Isaac Newtons IIIrd law is "To every action there is a equal and opposite reaction" Like a if you threw a ball in the air it would go up:equal reaction then gravity would bring it down:opposite reaction.


How would gravity affect an object?

Acceleration due to gravity pulls an object closer to the mass which exerts the force. Masses are attracted to masses. Due to newton's third law, if an object is on a surface, the opposite reaction to gravity would be normal force.


A resting object exerts pressure equal to?

that is equal to its own weight, newton's 3rd law, action and reaction are equal and opposite


What famous scientist who discovered gravity also wrote a law that says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction which is the law that governs the rocket?

Sir Isaac Newton
