explain how action and reaction act on two different bodies
Answers
Explanation:
Action And Reaction Act On Two Different Bodies
let's understand it by taking an simple example.
Suppose, a box is lying on the ground then the box will apply force on the ground in downward direction. Then, the downward weight of box is balanced by an equal and opposite force applied by the ground. Now the force exerted by the weight of the box is action and it's acts on the ground whereas the force exerted by the ground on the box is reaction and it acts on the box . And the box will neither goes up nor goes down the action of the box must be equal and opposite to the reaction of the ground. It is obvious that the action of the box on the ground and the reaction of the ground acts on the box.
Thus, action and reaction act on two different bodies .
It is an example of newton's third law of motion.
what is Newton's third law ?
According to Newton's third law of motion when one body exerts force on another body , the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body . In simple words , we can say that every action has an equal and opposite reaction .
