If the equal and opposite forces are separated by a certain distance they are called as couple.
If the equal and opposite forces are not seperated by a certain distance their resultant is zero as per Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition.

In all cases a force pushing in one direction results in an equal force in the opposite direction.

Newton's law of motion- states that forces always act in equal but opposite pairs?
Yep. But this is Newton's THIRD law of motion. He actually came up with three laws of motion that we use today.1: An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by another force.2: An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of that force.3: Forces always act in equal but opposite pairs.-(Basic definitions!)-
Do action-reaction forces always occur in threes or pairs?
Pairs!
Why do forces always come in pairs?
otherwise the force would be unequal and pointless because nothing will be acting against it and everything would be stationary
What are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction?
An example would be a book placed on a table. The book's weight is acting perpendicular to the table and the reaction of the table on the book is also acting perpendicular to the table, but both thse forces are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude, the reasons the book and the table are satble and in equilibrium
What do Forces come in?
Yes, but not nesicarially equally. "In every interaction, forces always occur in pairs. For example, in walking across the floor you push against the floor, and floor pushes against you. Likewise, the tires of a car push against the road, and the road in turn pushes back in the tires. In swimming you push the water backward, and the water pushes you forward. There is a pair of forces acting in each instance. The forces in these examples depend on friction; a person or a car on ice, by contrast, may not be able to exert the action force against the ice to produce the needed reaction force." -Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt
According to newtons third law forces always occur in what pairs?
equal but opposite
What law says that forces always come in pairs?
Newton's Third law of motion. This stated that with every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This proves that with one force, an equal and opposite counter-force will always also exist, thus proving that forces are always present in pairs.
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.
Do forces act in equal and opposite pairs?
yes
How are force pairs related by Newton third law of motion?
The forces are always equal in size and opposite in direction.
Forces always occur in equal but opposite what?
Forces always occur in equal and opposite directions, under Equilibrium Conditions.
When do action and reaction pairs of forces cancel each other and when do they not?
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: They always do.
What do forces always occur in?
In pairs. Newton's third law.
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"
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!!!!
What best describes Newton's third law of motion?
All forces act in pairs of equal and opposite forces....
What is an example of equal and opposite force pairs?
Opposite Forces: An example is of tug 'a war. There are two opposing forces on both sides of the rope, so it does't move.
