No, they act on different bodies. For example if "A" attracts "B", then "B" also attracts "A".

Action and reaction are always equal and opposite.Then how does a body move?

A body moves when there is an external force acting upon it. The action-reaction forces cancel each other out, but external forces can cause a net force resulting in acceleration and movement.


When the force is exerted on one body due to mutual interaction with another body then which type of force arises?

The type of force that arises when one body exerts a force on another body due to their mutual interaction is called an action-reaction pair or a reactive force. This is in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Are action reaction forces always the same force but in different directions?

Yes, action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction according to Newton's third law of motion. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.


Why action and reaction forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?

When you sit on a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair (action force). In response, the chair exerts an equal and opposite force upward on your body (reaction force), which helps support your weight and keep you from falling. This interaction follows Newton's third law of motion.


Do action and reaction forces act on same body to produce some magnitude of motion?

Yes, action and reaction forces always act on different bodies, not the same body. According to Newton's third law of motion, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. Consequently, action and reaction forces do not produce motion on the same body.

What is action and reaction force?

Newton's third law of motion explains action and reaction forces. The third law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Imagine hitting a baseball. The bat exerts a force on the ball.


Does an action -reaction force pairs acts on the same body?

Reaction pairs work on the same things and in opposite directions.


Do action and reaction act on same body?

The force acting on an object "A" from outside is action force , and the reaction force is the force exerted by A to the outside object . Therefore, it is obvious that action force and the corresponding reaction force cannot act on one and the same body.


Do centripetal and centrifugal reaction constitute action-reaction pair?

No, centripetal and centrifugal reactions do not constitute an action-reaction pair. Centripetal force acts towards the center of rotation to keep an object moving in a circular path, while centrifugal force is a pseudo-force that appears to act outward on the object in the rotating frame of reference. These forces do not follow Newton's third law of motion as an action-reaction pair.


What action and reaction are present when you are sitting on a chair?

Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body


What action forces and reaction forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?

Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body


What is the third low of motion?

The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.


Does an action-reaction force pair acts on the same body?

No, it acts on different bodies. If a body does a force on another body, the second body will exert a force with the same magnitude and opposite direction on the first body. So for example, if you kick a football, you use a force on the ball, which causes the ball to accelerate and move. At the same time, the ball exerts an equal force on your foot, though the effect isn't quite the same as with the ball. (The reason you don't move yourself, is because the acceleration is also dependent on the mass of the body (F=m.a -> a=F/m). So the bigger the mass, the smaller the acceleration.) The two forces from the example act on different bodies: the action force on the ball and the reaction force on your foot. This is very important to remember in exercices, because otherwise you'll assign forces to the wrong bodies! I hope I helped you out a bit!

State newtons third law of motion?

newtons third law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". the reaction will be opposite to the direction of action but it is equal in magnitude of force with which action is done.


Are action reaction forces always the same force but in different directions?

Yes, action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction according to Newton's third law of motion. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
