Question

Identify the incorrect statement.

  1. Action and reaction forces always act in pairs
  2. Action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude
  3. Action and reaction forces are opposite in direction.
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

The correct answer is: None of the above


    All of the statement is correct.
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction forces always have equal magnitude and opposite direction.
     Action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The first object's forces are equal in size to the second object's forces
