How are the size an direction of action- reaction forces related?

According to Newton's Third Law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, action-reaction forces are equal in magnitude (size) and opposite in direction. For example, a bug hits the windshield of a car. The force of the car on the bug is equal to the force of the bug on the car. The accelerations of the two are obviously different, because acceleration depends on mass. Unintuivie, but true.


In newtons third law the action and reaction forces?

The two forces are of the same magnitude, act in opposite directions, and act on different objects.


When two equal forces act in opposite directions an object they are called?

These two forces are balanced and opposing forces, because of the same magnitude, and opposite direction. For example: A box laying on the ground unmoved has 2 forces acting upon it. These forces would be Fg (Force of gravity; downwards direction), and Fn (Force of Normality; upwards direction). Since the magnitude of Fg = Fn, they are balanced and the box will not move.


How does newton's third law applies in a tug of war?

Third Law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction".


What is an example of an reaction force?

When a person jumps off a diving board, the force pushing the person upward (reaction force) is caused by the person pushing down on the diving board (action force). The reaction force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the action force, according to Newton's third law of motion.

Each force in an action-reaction pair of forces is equal in what?

Each force in an action-reaction pair of forces is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This is known as Newton's third law of motion.


The action and reaction forces in any situation will always be what and what'?

Newtons third law says that the action and reaction forces in any situation will always be equal.


The action and reaction forces in any situation will always be?

Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, if you push against a brick wall and it doesn't move or become deformed, then the brick wall is exerting an equal force against you.


Action-reaction forces are always the same but are in opposite?

Action-reaction forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. This principle applies to all interactions between two objects.


What is the word for a pair of forces that are equal and opposite?

The term for a pair of forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is "action-reaction pair" according to Newton's third law of motion.


What Forces equal in size and opposition in direction?

action-reaction forces


What forces equal in size but opposite in direction?

action-reaction forces


What two forces are in a force pair?

Action and reaction forces are in a force pair according to Newton's third law of motion. These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, acting on two interacting objects.


Which two words describe the pair of forces produced when two objects interact?

Action and reaction. These forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion.


State newtons third law of motion?

newtons third law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". the reaction will be opposite to the direction of action but it is equal in magnitude of force with which action is done.
