Question

The following force diagram represents Newton’s Third Law of Motion:

Answer 1

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that :

• Every action has equal and opposite reaction
• That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite
• The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.

For example ,

If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !

Thus,

we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the answer : FALSE
