According to the Newton's third law every action has a opposite and equal reaction but when we push a pen why doesn't it put any reaction on us
Answers
Answer:
the pen does give a reaction.
Explanation:
It is true that Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. However me must also take into consideration Newton's second law, from which we can derive that Force excreted is directly proportional to the mass.
So, since we are heavier than the pen (we have more mass) we manage to displace the pen from its original position, but the pen does not push US back (because we have a greater mass than that of the pen).
We can take the example of "the earth attracts an apple off a tree, so it falls, but why doesn't the earth move towards that apple ?"
The answer is the same, explained by Newton's second law, that the force is proportional to the mass, so the earth being heavier, attracts the apple, rather than vice-versa
Answer:
actually it does
Explanation:
but the reactant force is too small that you cannot feel it
