Question

Between these two scenarios, identify the action force and reaction forces.

Scenario 1$:$ A boy is pushing a book on the table.

Scenario 2$:$ A gun is fired.

Based on the given situations, match the following:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{coloumn-A}& \text{coloumn-B}\\ \text{1. Action force}& \text{a) force applied by the book on the boy}\\ \text{2. Reaction force}& \text{b) force applied by the boy on the book}\\ & \text{c) Recoil force on the gun}\\ & \text{d) Accelerating force on the bullet}\end{array}$

• A. 1-a and c , 2-b and d
• B. 1-b and d, 2-a and C
• C. 1-a and 2-b,c and d
• D. 1-b and 2-a,c and d

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1-b and d, 2-a and C

Action and reaction forces act on two different bodies.

Action forces are$:$

Force applied by the boy on the book and accelerating force on the bullet

Reaction forces are$:$

Force applied by the book on the boy and Recoil force on the gun
