Explain why motion is created in a stationary object even though action and reaction are equal .

1 Answer

Answer :

According to Newton's third law, the force of action and reaction are equal and opposite. Their gain would be nil if they acted on the same object. But in fact the force of action and reaction acts on two different objects , that is, a single force acts on an object. In this case, if no third force is applied to the object, then there is a change of speed and acceleration. The result is motion in a stationary object.

Description : Why can't action and reaction establish equality even though they are equal and opposite ?

Last Answer : When two equal and inverse forces are applied to the same object , i.e. the point of application is the same , then equality can be established but the action and reaction force always act on ... if the force of action and reaction is equal and opposite, the two forces can never establish equality.

Description : If the force exerted on an object is zero then the object will remain stationary- Explain ?

Last Answer : Zero force applied to an object means that the value of acceleration in it is zero. And since acceleration is needed to move a stable object, zero value of acceleration means that the object will remain stationary.
