Forces always come in pairs. I don't think you can easily find a specific "cause" for that; let's say that that's the way nature works. It is related to conservation of momentum.

How do you use energy and force in a sentence?

Force is but a reaction that is caused by the physical energy of something pushing and object.


If action and reaction forces are equal and opposite how can anything move?

The reaction force acts on the object causing the original force, not on the object the reaction force is caused by. So there is only one force acting on each object, and they both move (unless there is another force outside this pair preventing such movement).

How can there be an unbalanced force on an object if every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

"action/reaction" does not mean " force". "Applying force" is an action, not the force itself. So, applying force will create a reaction, which may or may not balance the applied force.


What is the definition of reaction force?

The definition of reaction force is a force that acts in opposite direction to the action force. This is in accordance to Newton's third law.


How do you calculate braking torque?

How do you work out the reaction force on something?

According to Newton's 3rd law, every force has an equal and opposite reaction force. Therefore, the reaction force on an object, is the exact same force it applied on another object, with the reverse direction.
