That's what the law is all about. If an object "A" exerts a force on an object "B", then there will be an opposite force, from "B" to "A". The two forces can be considered a pair of forces.

The term "pairs" does not describe the idea of Equal and Opposite or Reaction. Twins are pairs. The words "Action and Reaction" is more descriptive.

Do force act in pairs?

Yes Forces always act in pairs and never alone!!!!!!Newtons 3rd law clearly states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reactin!!!!


What forces always act in equal but opposite pairs?

Sort of; it's true as stated, but remember that any measured force may be the resultant of two or more initial forces. But the end result is identical to two equal & opposing forces.


How do you explain newtons third law in your own words?

newtons 3rd law states that if object A exerts a force on object B then, object Bwill exert the same amount of force on object A( newtons 3rd law of motion states that for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction )


Which are simultaneous equal but opposite forces resulting from the interaction of two objects?

Action and reaction forces, according to Newton's third law of motion. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal in magnitude but opposite in direction force on the first object.


If a karate chop delivers a blow of 4000N to a board that breaks what is the force that acts upon the hand?

4000 Newtons Newtons 3rd Law- every force applied has an egual and opposite reaction force so 4000n to the board=4000n force to the hand


How much is 50 newtons worth of force?

This is newtons third law in action, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push on a wall with 50 newtons of force, the wall will not move, and it will have no acceleration. To make the sum of the forces zero, the wall must push back on you with the same 50 newton force. This is implying that you do not push on the wall hard enough to were it breaks. If it does this it means you are overcoming the force that the wall can push back.


How does egg drop project apply to newtons 3rd law?

the second law of motion states the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. acceleration= force/mass


There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion


What one of newtons laws is associated with an equation?

netwons 3rd law


When you step out of a boat onto the dock the boat moves Why?

Newtons 3rd law. Every action has and equal and opposite reaction. The energy you apply with your legs that moves you out of the boat and on to the dock, pushes back on the boat with an equal force.
