For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction True or false?
TomonnoCheeksgp8705
The first part of Newton's third law of motion is:
"Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: ..."
Translation:
'To the action there is always opposed and equal reaction: ...'
This is often expressed as:
"To (or For) every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: ..."
Therefore the phrase in the question is not right because Newton's law has been incorrectly quoted. The word 'always' should also have been included.
However, given that the quoted phrase is only half of what Newton actually stated as his third law, then, in the field of motion physics, it can only be HALF RIGHT at most.
And even if Newton's law had been correctly quoted, it is still only a law of motion physics, so it is not necessarily 'right' in the sense of a being a universal truism.

∙ 9y agoIt is true that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is Newton's Third Law of Motion. For example, when a squid moves forward, it does so by shooting out a jet of water behind it. The water applies an equal and opposite reaction force to the squid, pushing the squid forward. Friction, however, is the reason you aren't pushed backwards every time you push on anything else, because friction helps to keep you in place.

According to Sir Isaac newton and his well-known Third Law of Motion,
he said that it's true, and far be it from me to dispute Newton.
