Well in a single action-reaction pair, they cannot cancel out! The action and reaction forces act on different bodies. Lets say that we have a football. I kick it with 200 N of force. That is the action force, so the reaction force must be 200N(in the opposite direction) as well. The key here is that the reaction force did not act on the football, but on your foot! So the net force of the football is still 200 N in the direction I kicked it!

Hope this helps some,

Well, Professor Newton has taught that the reaction is always equal and opposite

to the action, and we know that equal and opposite forces cancel each other. So it

seems that the answer to the question must be: Always.

What force's cancel each other out and do not change an objects motion?

The action and reaction forces are the forces that cancel each other. They do not change an object motion or cause the object to accelerate.


What happens with action reaction forces?

The force's don't cancel out each other, they act on different objects. Forces can cancel only if they act on the same object.


Why the equal action reaction forces do not cancel each other when one person hits a ball?

The action and reaction forces act on different objects. For two forces to cancel each other - and provide a net force of zero, for Newton's First Law - they must act on the same object.


Why action and reaction forces of newton 3 law not cancel each other give reason?

The action and reaction forces do cancel each other out, so that there is a net force of zero. When you push on a wall, the wall does not move because the action force that you exert and the reaction force that the wall exerts are equal but opposite and the net force is zero.

Why do not action and reaction forces cancel each other?

Action and Reaction forces do cancel each other. For example a book is placed on the table. The weight of the book is action acting downward. But the elastic nature of the table exerts a force on the book. This is reaction acting upward. Now the book is at rest. So both action and reaction should have cancelled. Let us the case of earth and the moon. Earth attracts the moon because of gravitational force. This is action and also named as the necessary centripetal force to keep the moon go in a curved path around the earth. But this force does not make the moon to move towards the earth. Then what is that force balancing this? That is the centrifugal force which comes due to the inertia of direction. This is the reaction. Now both action and reaction cancel each other.


Action-reaction forces act on what?

Each other.


In newtons third law the action and reaction forces is act on different bodies it is correct or not and why?

had that not been the case then the two forces would cancel each other as they act on the same body being equal and opposite
