Answer 1

Answer:

Even though the magnitude of action force and reaction force are equal and their direction are opposite their effect do not get cancelled because they act on different bodies. book exerts force on table while reaction force is exerted on book

Answer 2

Hello,

To answer your question, action and reaction forces are different than balanced and unbalanced forces. When the two bodies interact, both effects will not get cancelled because they do not act on the same body. For example, if there's an orange. We throw it on the ground. The action force is on the orange while the reaction force is on the ground.

Hope that helps,
