Question

Action and reaction are equal and opposite,still their resultant is not zero. Explain

Answer 1

Every action has equal and opposite reaction , suppose if a force of 10 N is applied it's reaction will be -10 so the resultant will be 10-10 that is 0, according to Newtons statement action and reaction both are equal and opposite so the resultant will surely always be zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

Althought action and reaction are equal n opposite but their resultant is not zero

Explanation:because these two forces are act on two different objects not on the same object .forces can be added only if they act on same object.
