Question

What is the action and reaction in the cases of pulling a drawer, pushing a door in forward direction ?

Answer 1

Dear student,

Action and reaction are equal in magnitude but act on bodies in opposite directions.

Check some examples

Some of the examples of action reaction pairs are mentioned below:

1) A swimmer pushes the water backwards by his/her hands and in return the water pushes the swimmer forwards, thus enabling him to go forward during swimming.

2) A man walking on ground: While walking, a person pushes the ground in the backward direction, and the ground in return pushes the person in the forward direction, thus making him/her to walk.

3) A bird while flying pushes the air downwards with the help of its wings. Consistent with Newton’s third law of motion air pushes the bird upwards.

Similarly ,

in the cases of pulling a drawer, pushing a door in forward direction

Whenever two bodies interact, they will exert equal and opposite forces on each other.(they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.)
