Action and reaction force donot balance each other wht?


sahilsharma2000: it is because they always act on different bodies
if they are going to balance each other then there will be no motion
Abraham123: Thanks bro
sahilsharma2000: welcome

It is third law of motion that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

But it shall be always remembered that these two forces never act on same object. They ac on two different objects. Although they have same magnitude it is not necessary they produce same acceleration as the mass and size of both objects is not always the same.
So they not always balance each other.

Abraham123: Can I have example?
Somin: Suppose when you are standing at rest and then intend to move forward. You will push the road backwards with your feet by applying force. As a result the road will exert an opposite force that will help you to move. These two forces applied by you (action force) and the road (reaction force) are equal in magnitude. But they are acing on two different bodies. they don't produce accelerations of same magnitude because mass of the two objects vary.
