Tough. An action force is normally the aggressor, acting first, with a clear owner (for example, a human, an animal, an engine, etc). The reaction force is normally passive (only acts when being forced to) and hidden (invisible), with no clear ownership. The reaction force can be created artificially to explain the situation.

An example of a reaction force: an apple is sitting still on a table. We know the apple will fall if the table is not there. The action force will be the gravitational force. We can explain why the apple does not fall to the floor by 'assigning' an invisible force by the table that is equal and opposite to the gravitational force. Otherwise, Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws of motion would have been violated.

What are the examples of Newton's Third law pairs?

Some examples of Newton's Third law pairs include: when you push against a wall, the wall pushes back on you with an equal force; when a rocket expels gas downward, the gas exerts an equal and opposite force on the rocket, propelling it upward; when you row a boat, you push water backwards, causing the boat to move forward.


When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?

If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.


What does a synthesis reaction look like?

H2+O2=H2O is what a synthesis reaction would look like or also is the creation of water by combining hydrogen with oxygen


Can action and reaction forces cancel each other?

Well, let's put on our thinking caps here: If you're trying to push a car, and you can't quite do it alone, you call your friend over and ask him to help you. So he comes over, and he stands next to you, and which way does he push . . . in the same direction as you're pushing, or in the opposite direction ? Which direction helps you move the car, and which direction would make the two of you look like Laurel and Hardy, and transform the both of you into objects of derision and scorn ?


Is it true that when you jump on the ground the Earth exerts a greater force back up on you because it is so massive?

That is false. Please take a look at Newton's Third Law. The opposing force MUST BE of the same magnitude. For example, if you temporarily exert a force of 2000 newton (by jumping, the force will temporarily be greater than your weight), then the opposing force will also be 2000 newton.

Name three action and reaction force pairs involved in doing homework Name what the object is exertingand what the object is receiving the forces?

Oh, dude, you're really making me work for this one, huh? Okay, so when you're doing homework, you're exerting a force on the pencil, and the pencil is exerting an equal and opposite force on you. Same goes for the chair you're sitting on and the table you're leaning on. It's like a whole physics party in your study session.
