Question

According to Newton's third law of motion, the action and reaction forces always act on:

• A. different bodies
• B. the same body
• C. same direction
• D. the body in motion

Answer 1

The correct option is A

different bodies

Newtons's Third Law says "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
The force and the reaction force always acts on different bodies.

For example, consider a situation where you are hitting a ball with a bat. In this case, the bat is applying a force on the ball, and the reaction force is acted on the bat by the ball.

Therefore, the force and the reaction force act on different bodies.
