Question

According to Newton’s 3rd law, action and reaction:

• A. are equal in magnitude
• B. are oppsite in direction
• C. act on the same bodies
• D. act on different bodies

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A are equal in magnitude
B are oppsite in direction
D act on different bodies

Newton's third law states that:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".
These opposing forces act on different bodies. For example; when a gun is fired, it pushes the bullet out with a force. The bullet also exerts a equal and opposite force on the gun, causing a recoil in the other direction.
