Question

How does Newton’s third law of motion relate action and reaction forces? They produce a net force of zero. They are equal and opposite. They are unaffected by gravity.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is: they are equal and opposite.

Explanation:

A force is a push or a pull which acts upon any object as a result of its interaction with another object where the forces are called action and reaction.

And according to the Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

For example, if a bat hits a ball with a 1000-N force, the force exerted on the bat will also be equal to 1000 N but in opposite direction.
