Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Which of the following statement can be inferred:
Statement 1: every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects
Statement 2: The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object
Statement 3: Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action - reaction force pairs
Statement 4: Force and reaction act on the same body
Statement 5: Force and reaction act on two different bodies
All statements except 4 can be inferred from 3rd law of motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action - reaction force pairs.
And force and reaction occurs in two different bodies, not on the same body otherwise the net force will be zero). So, the statement is incorrect.
