Yes the action applies to the object that the force is exerted on while the reaction applies to the object applying the force.

Action and reaction forces acting in opposite directions do cancel out because they act on different objects true or false?

True. According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction forces always act on different objects and have equal magnitudes but opposite directions. So, when these forces act in opposite directions on different objects, they effectively cancel each other out.


Do action and reaction force reAct in same direction?

No, action and reaction forces always act in opposite directions. This is described by Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


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.


When do action and reaction forces cancel out each other?

Well in a single action-reaction pair, they cannot cancel out! The action and reaction forces act on different bodies. Lets say that we have a football. I kick it with 200 N of force. That is the action force, so the reaction force must be 200N(in the opposite direction) as well. The key here is that the reaction force did not act on the football, but on your foot! So the net force of the football is still 200 N in the direction I kicked it!Hope this helps some,-Sk Inventor


Action-reaction forces always act on what kind of objects?

Action-reaction forces always act on two different objects. When object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. This is known as Newton's third law of motion.

What will the action and reaction forces always be?

Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.


Action reaction forces are always the same?

yes, always.


Are the action and reaction forces in newtons third law equally proportional?

I've never heard of "equally proportional" and have no idea what it means.The action and reaction forces in Newton's third law are EQUAL in strength,and act in opposite directions. (That means they always add up to zero.)

Does Action-reaction forces always act on the same objects?

Yes, action-reaction forces always act on different objects. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.


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.
