State and explain the law of action and reaction, by giving two examples.
Answers
Answer:
Newton's third law of motion is known as law of action and reaction. Its states that to every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction i.e., the forces of action and reaction are always equal and opposite. These forces act on two different objects and never cancel each other
Answer:
The law of action and reaction is Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. This can be explained with the help of the following examples:
(a) A book on a table a book exerts a force equal to its weight W when it is placed on a tabletop which is the action in downwards direction. The table balances it by exerting an equal force is known as a reaction that acts in an upward direction on the book.
(b) Pushing a wall when you apply a force on a wall by pushing your palm against it, that becomes action and the force which you experience in turn from the wall forms the reaction that is applied by the wall on your palm.
