A force is exerted on a box and an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box is an example that explains Newton's second law of motion. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When a force is exerted on a box an equal and opposite reaction is?

When a force is exerted on a box, an equal and opposite reaction force is generated by the box. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, stating that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


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

When a force is exerted, an equal and opposite force is also applied. This is Newton's third law of motion stating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.


What is the force exerted upwards from the ground?

In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.


If 300-n action force is exerted to the right the reaction force will be?

300 Newtons to the left. Remember, there is an equal and opposite force. So the force is equal, 300 Newtons, and it is opposite (opposite of right is left).


When a force is exerted on a box an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box. the forces are called?

The forces are called action-reaction forces according to Newton's third law of motion. For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.


When a person leans against a wall the wall exerts an equal or unequal opposite force on the person?

When a person leans against a wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the person, as described by Newton's third law of motion. This means that the force exerted by the person on the wall is matched by an equal force exerted by the wall on the person in the opposite direction.


When a force is exerted on a box an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box these fores are called?

These forces are called action-reaction forces as per Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted by you on the box is the action force, and the force exerted by the box back on you is the reaction force.


When a hammer exerts a force on a nail how does the amount of force compare to that of the nail on the hammer?

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the force exerted by the hammer on the nail is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the nail on the hammer.


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

When a force is exerted on an object, the object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the object applying the force. This is known as Newton's third law of motion and explains how forces always come in pairs. This interaction allows for motion and equilibrium to occur.


Is the force exerted by the Moon on Earth equal to the force exerted by the Earth on Moon?

Yes for every action there will be an EQUAL and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law
