Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Newton’s third law of motion, the strength of a reaction force is ____ the strength of the action force.
A
equal to
B
negative to
C
positive to
D
greater than
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Newton’s third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted.

Detailed explanation-3: -Forces always act in pairs, called action and reaction forces. The action force is the force applied by the original action onto an object, and the reaction force is an equal force applied in the opposite direction by the object.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Newton’s third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force.
