A reaction force is directly opposite of action force.

If a ball hit another ball, they actually hit each other at the same time with the same force if they are of the same size and mass.

If a ball hit a football player, then the football player equally hit the ball but in proportion to mass. This happen at the same time.

Now for the tricky part.

The action force could be considered to trigger a reaction force different to what it would normally be because it is observed. Would this not make reaction force before action force?

Still probably not valid.

As a reaction force is directly opposite of action force, it would not matter if the football player hits the ball hard or not so hard as a result of what he sees. Energy exchanged will be different, but always in proportion to mass.

The football player would only be exchanging action and reaction force with other objects/players before hitting the football, making another exchange of energy.

Claim:

All exchange of energy happens at the same time for both objects in proportion to their mass no matter the circumstances.

What force occurs when you apply an action force'?

a reaction force


Does the reaction force occurs before the action force?

The action and reaction forces occur at the same time.


What type of force is a reaction force?

A reaction force is a type of contact force that occurs in response to an action force. It acts in the opposite direction to the action force, according to Newton's third law of motion.


When you applied the action force when did the object apply the reaction force?

According to Newton's third law of motion, when an action force is applied on an object, the object will simultaneously apply a reaction force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the object that exerted the action force. This means the reaction force occurs instantaneously when the action force is applied.


Does a reaction force occur before or after the action force?

In accordance with Newton's third law of motion, the reaction force occurs simultaneously with the action force. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object in the same instant.


Is reaction a contact force?

No, a reaction force is not a contact force. It is a force that occurs when an object interacts with its environment or another object, and it is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the action force.


Action and reaction are equal and opposite then how motion occurs?

Motion - or rather acceleration - occurs as a result of a net force, meaning that the vector sum of forces on an object is non-zero. This is unrelated to "action and reaction"; please note that "action" and "reaction" occur on DIFFERENT OBJECTS.


When does the reaction force occur?

The reaction force occurs simultaneously with an action force as dictated by Newton's third law of motion. It is the force that a surface exerts in response to an object pressing against it.


Is reaction a contact force or field?

A reaction is not a separate force; it is a force that occurs as a response to an action. In the context of contact forces, a reaction force is the force exerted by an object in response to a force acting on it. It is a contact force that arises due to the physical interaction between two objects.


What is difference between Action and Reaction?

An action is the initial force or movement that occurs, while a reaction is the response or consequence that follows the action. Actions are typically intentional and within our control, whereas reactions are often instinctive or automatic.


Does the reactions force occurs before the action force?

The two forces occur at the same time. Sometimes it is a bit arbitrary which force you call "action", and which "reaction". Just remember that forces always occur in pairs.


How can there be an unbalanced force on an object if every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

"action/reaction" does not mean " force". "Applying force" is an action, not the force itself. So, applying force will create a reaction, which may or may not balance the applied force.
