प्रश्न
Do action and reaction act on the same body or different bodies ? How are they related in magnitude and direction ? Are they simultaneous or not ?
उत्तर
Action and reaction act on different bodies. The action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but they do not always produce equal acceleration in the two bodies on which they act.

According to the third law of motion, when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
