When a force is acting on an object, there is always another equal and opposite force acting upon it. For example; a car that is travelling forward has a force of 'Thrust' which is pulling the car forward, as this occurs, 'Drag' or 'Air resistance' is also acting upon the car.

What are forces in pairs called?

Forces in pairs are called action and reaction forces, according to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Forces come in pairs what are they called?

Forces that come in pairs are called action-reaction pairs. This is based on Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Do all forces work in pairs or groups?

Yes, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction force. This means that forces always work in pairs or groups due to the interaction between objects.


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.

Does action-reaction pairs result in equilibrium?

Yes, action-reaction pairs result in a balance of forces, but they do not necessarily result in equilibrium. In order to achieve equilibrium, the net force acting on an object must be zero, which involves considering all the forces acting on the object, not just the action-reaction pairs.
