Question

Why things move if action and reaction force are equal?

Answer 1

According to Newton's third law ofmotion, that mass also applies anequal force on you in the opposite direction, on you. When you try tomove an object, the reaction forcefrom the object is on you, not on itself. Hence, the two forces don't cancel out and the object moves, applying a small push on you.

Answer 2

Answer:

You might think that because action-reaction forces are equal and opposite that they cancel. However, action and reaction force pairs don't cancel because they act on different objects. Forces can cancel only if they act on the same object.
