The recoil of a bullet being fired from a gun is a good example, the action force is the gun pushing the bullet away from the gun and the reaction force is the bullet pushing back against the gun (recoil).

∙ 14y agoAn example of action and reaction forces is a person pushing against a wall. The action force is the person pushing on the wall, while the reaction force is the wall pushing back on the person with an equal force in the opposite direction.
action and reaction
Forces that are equal and anti-parallel.
Forces ALWAYS come in pairs - as in "action/reaction". The atmosphere is no exception. For example, if the air pushes an airplane up, then the airplane also pushes the air down.
action = reaction, but they works in the different object
Action-reaction forces act on the same object.
Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Newtons third law says that the action and reaction forces in any situation will always be equal.
action-reaction forces
action-reaction forces
Action and reaction forces refer to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object applies a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal force back onto the first object. These forces act on different objects and not on the same object.
The action and reaction forces occur at the same time.
