No, it acts on different bodies. If a body does a force on another body, the second body will exert a force with the same magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.

So for example, if you kick a football, you use a force on the ball, which causes the ball to accelerate and move. At the same time, the ball exerts an equal force on your foot, though the effect isn't quite the same as with the ball. (The reason you don't move yourself, is because the acceleration is also dependent on the mass of the body (F=m.a -> a=F/m). So the bigger the mass, the smaller the acceleration.)

The two forces from the example act on different bodies: the action force on the ball and the reaction force on your foot. This is very important to remember in exercices, because otherwise you'll assign forces to the wrong bodies!

Is that true when an action reaction force pair acts on the same body?

No, they act on different bodies. For example if "A" attracts "B", then "B" also attracts "A".


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object the net force that results is?

When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object, the net force that results is equal to zero.


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object the ne force that result is?

If the net force is zero, then the forces are balanced. If the net force is not zero, then the forces are not balanced. You can have a balanced pair of forces, but not a pair of balanced forces.


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object the net force that results of what?

the answer is zero.


What is the force when a pair of balanced forces acts on an object?

It is zero.It is always ZERO.=)


Do centripetal and centrifugal reaction constitute action-reaction pair?

No, centripetal and centrifugal reactions do not constitute an action-reaction pair. Centripetal force acts towards the center of rotation to keep an object moving in a circular path, while centrifugal force is a pseudo-force that appears to act outward on the object in the rotating frame of reference. These forces do not follow Newton's third law of motion as an action-reaction pair.


Why centripetal and centrifugal forces are not action reaction pair?

a) Centrifugal force is not even a real force, it is a fictitious force. b) Action and reaction forces act on DIFFERENT objects. If A acts on B, then B acts on A.


Are normal force and weight not a third law pair?

Normal force and weight are not a third law pair because they act on the same object in opposite directions. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface the object is in contact with to support the object's weight, which acts vertically downward due to gravity.


What is the net force when a pair of balanced forces acts on a object?

When a pair of balanced forces act on an object, the net force is zero. This means that the forces cancel each other out, resulting in no acceleration of the object.


When a pair of balanced force acts on an object, the net force that results is?

Zero.


When a pair of balanced forces acts on an object what is the net force that results in?

When a pair of balanced forces act on an object, the net force is zero. This means that the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, canceling each other out, resulting in no change in the object's motion.


Why don't the forces in a force pair cancel each other out?

Force pairs act on different objects, so they do not cancel each other out. One force acts on one object, while the equal and opposite force acts on a different object. As a result, the forces are balanced within their own system but not when considering both objects together.
