Question

Action and reaction forces never balance out. Because,

• A. they are equal but not opposite always
• B. they are unequal in magnitude even though opposite in direction
• C. they act on different bodies
• D. they are unequal in magnitudes

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

they act on different bodies

Action and reaction exist in pair and are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. But they act on different bodies, hence they cannot balance each other.
