According to Newton's third law of motion, how are action and reaction forces related?

Answer 1

Third law
To every action (force applied) there is an equal and opposite reaction (equal force applied in the opposite direction).
Another way of stating Newton's third law, an interaction between two objects, is that, if object A exerts a force on object B, object B will exert the same magnitude force on A, but in the opposite direction.

Answer 2

All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. It is important to note that the action/reaction pair act on different objects and do not cancel each other out.
If a basketball hits the ground, the basketball's force on the Earth is the same as Earth's force on the basketball. However, due to the ball's much smaller mass, Newton's second law predicts that its acceleration will be much greater than that of the Earth. Not only do planets accelerate toward stars, but stars also accelerate toward planets. If a star gravitationally attracts a planet, then the planet will gravitationally attract the star. Usually the planet is less massive than the star and thus displays greater changes in it's state of motion. Similarly, if a falling ball is pulled towards the Earth, then the reaction force is that the Earth is pulled toward the ball. We can not detect any change in the Earth's motion because it is much more massive than the ball.

Answer 3

Newton's Laws of Motion are three physical laws which provide relationships between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body, first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton's laws were first published in his work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687). The laws form the basis for classical mechanics. Newton used them to explain many results concerning the motion of physical objects. In the third volume of the text, he showed that the laws of motion, combined with his law of universal gravitation, explained Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

Answer 4

1) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. 2) If no outside forces are exerted, momentum will be conserved. 3) Dolphin. Momentum of dolphin = 1500 N/s Manatee = 900 N/s

Answer 5

well, because of one thing that happens another thing happens :) like for example if you're playing baseball, the ball will go to whatever direction you hitted at but once let's say the catcher catches or tries to it moves to a different direction because of the force that was placed on both when you hitted and when the object got it second direction movement. My mind is still a little bit rusty but I believe that's that lol

Answer 6

They are not related but converted into the same form of energy.
See when you take a hot potato it contains heat energy, once you jjuggle it, it gets cool. Heat energy is converted into kinetic and potential energy and both this forces make equal the total heat energy of the potato. So the heat energy of potato was 2 joules then kinetic energy=1 and potential energy= 1.
