-- You push on a brick wall with a force of 50 pounds. The wall pushes back with

an equal force. Since the vector sum of the forces against your hand is zero, your

hand does not accelerate, which is convenient.

-- You stand there. Your weight of 175 pounds is pushing down on the floor. The floor

is pushing up on the soles of your shoes with an equal force. Since the vector sum of

the forces on the soles of your shoes is zero, your shoes do not accelerate. This is

just as convenient as it was in the case of your hand.

Why does and object move if the action reaction forces are equal?

Action and reaction forces act on different objects. The forces on one of the objects can still be unbalanced.

What are action -reaction forces?

Forces that are equal and anti-parallel.


What is an example of an action reaction forces?

The recoil of a bullet being fired from a gun is a good example, the action force is the gun pushing the bullet away from the gun and the reaction force is the bullet pushing back against the gun (recoil).


Why does and object move if the action-reaction forces are equal?

action = reaction, but they works in the different object


What will the action and reaction forces always be?

Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.


In atmosphere why there is no reaction of any action?

Forces ALWAYS come in pairs - as in "action/reaction". The atmosphere is no exception. For example, if the air pushes an airplane up, then the airplane also pushes the air down.


Which is an example of action and reaction forces?

When an air fillae baloon sets free the air inside it rushes out it is action of air as a reaction the balloon moves in opposite direction this is reaction When we throw a ball on a wall: the throwing process is action. In reaction the wall bounces the ball back to us
