Question

Which of the following statements are correct for action and reaction forces?

• A. They act on two different bodies.
• B. They are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
• C. They act on a single body.
• D. They are necessary to explain reactions in third law.

Answer 1

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

The correct options are
A They act on two different bodies.
B They are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
D They are necessary to explain reactions in third law.

A applies Force on B, B applies same force on A.

Now suppose there is a action and reaction pair between A and B.

By Newton third law action and reaction act on two different bodies.
