Which statement on action and reaction forces is correct?
ASame body, so they cancel
BAction comes before reaction
CDifferent bodies, so no cancelling
DUnequal for unequal masses
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Different bodies, so no cancelling
The pair acts on two separate bodies and is simultaneous, so the two forces never cancel each other.
