Question

The following force diagram represents Newton’s third law of motion

Answer 1

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction but, action and reaction forces act on different bodies. Because there are two opposite forces acting on the SAME object, this does not represent Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

• According to the third Newton's law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction which acts with similar momentum and the opposite velocity.
• In other words, the action force is equal and opposite to the reaction force
• Based on the this law, there are two forces , for example when you sit on a chair, the body exerts a downward force on the chair, and the chair exerts an upward pressure on the body.
• The two forces resulting from the interaction are called action and reaction forces. These forces are equal and opposite.
