Question

Action and reaction force are
Antiparallel to each another
Parallel to each another
Perpendicular to each another
Inclined at an angle 60° to one another​

Answer 1

Answer:

perpendicular to each other

Answer 2

Complete Question:

Action and reaction forces are:

(A) Antiparallel to each other

(B) Parallel to each other

(C) Perpendicular to each other

(D) Inclined at an angle of 60° to one another.

The action and reaction forces are antiparallel to each other. So the correct option is (A).

Explanation:

→ According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When two bodies interact they apply some forces on one another, these forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. These two forces are known as action-reaction pairs.

→ When a body applies an action force on another body, then the second body also applies an equal and opposite reactionary force on the first body. Thus we can say that an action-reaction pair is generated during the interaction of two bodies.

→ Since the action and reaction forces are opposite in direction, therefore they can be said to be Antiparallel.
