Try pushing something that doesn't push back.

You can't.

Observing that fact was why the rule was formulated.

Do forces act in equal and opposite pairs?

yes


What best describes Newton's third law of motion?

All forces act in pairs of equal and opposite forces....


Do force act in pairs?

Yes Forces always act in pairs and never alone!!!!!!Newtons 3rd law clearly states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reactin!!!!


Since all forces act in pairs what happens when a force is exerted?

there will be always a reaction force


What forces always act in equal but opposite pairs?

Sort of; it's true as stated, but remember that any measured force may be the resultant of two or more initial forces. But the end result is identical to two equal & opposing forces.


Because all forces act in pairs what happens when a force is exerted?

There's always a reaction force


What are forces in pairs called?

to measure forces what do you use?


Action reaction force pairs act on what?

All Forces! For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs"


What does forces do?

Forces always occur in pairs. They even have reaction force pairs occur when there is no motion


do Force always act alone?

Hmmm...... Let's see what is Newton's 3rd Law (for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction). So no, forces don't act alone, they act in pairs.


Do action-reaction forces always occur in threes or pairs?

Pairs!


What does forces always come in?

pairs!
