Question
The third law of motion states that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object instantaneously exerts a force back on the first. These two forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. These forces act on different objects and neveron the same object. It is important to note that even though the action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude; these forces may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes, this is because each force acts on a different object that may have a different mass.The two opposing forces are also known as action and reaction forces. Answer the following questions.
(i) Action reaction forces are always
$(a)$ Equal and in same direction
$(b)$ Equal and in opposite direction
$(c)$ Unequal and in same direction
$(d)$ None of the above
(ii) Which of the following is correct about action reaction forces?
$(a)$ They act on different objects
$(b)$ They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
$(c)$ Both forces acted on different object simultaneously
$(d)$ All the above
(iii) State third law of motion
(iv) Give 5 examples of third law of motion
(v) Even though the action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude; these forces may not produce accelerations of equal magnitudes. Give your justification on this statement
