Question

Why do action and reaction being equal and opposite do not cancel out? Do action and reactions occur independently?

Answer 1

Because action and reaction Patio
pair acts on two different bodies in two different directions..
and we know that Forces get cancelled in opposite directions of they are acting on the same body.. but in this case the opposite forces are acting on two different bodies in contact..
hope this will help you.. :-)

Answer 2

Answer:

Newton’s third law of motion explains how Jerod starts his skateboard moving. This law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always act in pairs. First an action occurs—Jerod pushes against the ground with his foot. Then a reaction occurs—the ground pushes back on Jerod! This force causes Jerod to move forward. The reaction is always equal in strength to the action but in the opposite direction.
