Forces always come in pairs. I don't think you can easily find a specific "cause" for that; let's say that that's the way nature works. It is related to conservation of momentum.

What causes the force thrust?

The force thrust is caused by a rocket engine expelling high-speed exhaust gases in one direction, resulting in a reaction force in the opposite direction due to Newton's third law of motion. This reaction force propels the rocket forward.


Identify the action reaction force pair involved when you catch a ball?

When you catch a ball, the action force is the force applied by your hand on the ball to stop its motion. The reaction force is the force applied by the ball on your hand in the opposite direction, creating an equilibrium that allows you to catch the ball securely.


What is an oppositional force caused by an object?

An oppositional force caused by an object is typically a reaction force exerted in the opposite direction in response to another force acting on the object. It can include frictional forces that resist motion, normal forces that support the object's weight, or tension forces in a rope or cable. These forces prevent the object from accelerating indefinitely in the direction of the applied force.


What is a reaction force and formula?

The idea of a reaction force comes from Newton's third law; "If object A exerts a force on object B ,then object B will exert an equal but opposite force back on A". In many problems some of the forces are considered as the "initiating" force or the applied force. When you consider a force as being applied, like a bulldoser pushing a rock, then the force which must act back , the rock pushing back on the doser, is called the reaction force. Sometimes you don't really have an initiating force but it still convienient to think of one force as the force of interest and the back force as the reaction force. There is no single formula for reaction force since it can apply to any force. For example, the earth attracts you with a force mg (your weight), then you can think of the reaction force as you attract the earth with a force -mg; equal but opposite.


What is the name often given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?

The name often given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object is the action force.

How do you use energy and force in a sentence?

Force is but a reaction that is caused by the physical energy of something pushing and object.


If action and reaction forces are equal and opposite how can anything move?

The reaction force acts on the object causing the original force, not on the object the reaction force is caused by. So there is only one force acting on each object, and they both move (unless there is another force outside this pair preventing such movement).


What is an example of an reaction force?

When a person jumps off a diving board, the force pushing the person upward (reaction force) is caused by the person pushing down on the diving board (action force). The reaction force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the action force, according to Newton's third law of motion.

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.


What is the name often given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?

The name often given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object is the action force.


How do you calculate braking torque?

To calculate brake torque, multiply force with the distance from the point of rotation. Force is equal to the torsional reaction caused by the brakes, and is also equal in magnitude to the torque exerted by the road.
