Do action and reaction act on same body?

The force acting on an object "A" from outside is action force , and the reaction force is the force exerted by A to the outside object . Therefore, it is obvious that action force and the corresponding reaction force cannot act on one and the same body.


What forces act on a stationary object question mark I know there's weight reaction force and a minute amount of friction but hasn't there got to be a force that opposes friction?

Actually, don't worry I know the answer to this particular question now. There is friction, weight (mxg) and reaction force. Movement opposes friction, but that isn't taking place when an object is stationary.


What is the force when an objects rolls over a surface?

friction


How does friction affects the motion of and object?

Friction acts in the direction opposite to that of the net force acting on the object.


What is the direction of static friction acting on an object placed on a horizontal surface?

The direction of static friction acting on an object placed on a horizontal surface is opposite to the direction in which the object is trying to move.


When an object that is moving slows down, which action must be occurring?

friction


What effect does friction have on the motion of an object when it is the only force acting on it?

Friction slows down the motion of an object when it is the only force acting on it. It opposes the object's movement, causing it to eventually come to a stop.


Are weight and normal force action-reaction pairs?

No, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object due to its mass. Normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. They are not action-reaction pairs as they act on different objects - weight acts on the object itself, while the normal force acts on the surface supporting the object.


What is high air resistance?

Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks


Why does and object move if the action-reaction forces are equal?

action = reaction, but they works in the different object


How can reaction forces in action forces be identified?

Reaction forces in action forces can be identified by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object. Identifying reaction forces involves recognizing this pair of forces acting on different objects in opposite directions.


How does the force of friction affect the motion of an object?

Friction tends to oppose the relative motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. To every action there's always an equal but opposite reaction. So friction serves as that opposite/negative reaction or force.
