Forces always come in pairs. If there is a force of object A against object B, then there will also be a force of object B against object A. Which of the two should be called "action" and which "reaction" is sometimes an arbitrary decision.

What is newtons third law of motion called?
Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."
What puts things in motion?
The Newtons laws put things in motion.
What balance motion and unbalance motion?
the motion in any specific direction following any path in the action of force is called balanced motion . Where as the motion in an y direction due to the force is called unbalance motion motion.
Basics of Physics?
1. An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. 2. Force = Mass x acceleration. 3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Newtons 3 laws of motion)
There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion
What is newtons third law of motion called?
Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."
Why is Newtons the measurement of force called Newtons?
It is named for Sir Isaac Newton who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation.
What puts things in motion?
The Newtons laws put things in motion.
What balance motion and unbalance motion?
the motion in any specific direction following any path in the action of force is called balanced motion . Where as the motion in an y direction due to the force is called unbalance motion motion.
How does newtons law applied in rockets?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, the force of the rocket's output translates to the forward motion of the rocket.

Any action that is able to change the motion of a body is called?
force
What kind of work is done when a force opposes an object's motion watts newtons or molecular?
The answer is newtons
Does force have size and motion?
Force has size, which is how much force put into somethig, e.g., 10 Newtons of force. It has motion because force is basically motion, because force can be unbalanced or balanced, and unbalanced causes motion, and is basically motion.
There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion
What is the force called that springs use to push back?
Newtons Law: every action has an oppostie and equal reaction.
When forces act in opposite direction?
When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.
