Get a friend.
The two of you both push your right hands together. (if you do it right, your hands will not move.)
Now tell your friend not to resist your push.
You'll find that you can not apply a force unless there is an opposing force.

According to newtons third law forces always occur in what pairs?

equal but opposite


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.


What law says that forces always come in pairs?

Newton's Third law of motion. This stated that with every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This proves that with one force, an equal and opposite counter-force will always also exist, thus proving that forces are always present in pairs.


What are forces in pairs called?

Forces in pairs are called action and reaction forces, according to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


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!!!!


Do action-reaction forces always occur in threes or pairs?

Pairs!


What do Forces come in?

Yes, but not nesicarially equally. "In every interaction, forces always occur in pairs. For example, in walking across the floor you push against the floor, and floor pushes against you. Likewise, the tires of a car push against the road, and the road in turn pushes back in the tires. In swimming you push the water backward, and the water pushes you forward. There is a pair of forces acting in each instance. The forces in these examples depend on friction; a person or a car on ice, by contrast, may not be able to exert the action force against the ice to produce the needed reaction force." -Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt

Forces come in pairs what are they called?

Forces that come in pairs are called action-reaction pairs. This is based on Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Why do forces always come in pairs?

otherwise the force would be unequal and pointless because nothing will be acting against it and everything would be stationary


Why newtons third can be stated as all forces act in pairs.?

Because that's what it is all about. If object "A" pulls on object "B", then "B" will pull back on "A".Because that's what it is all about.
