Action and reaction forces in Newton's third law act on:

Answer: Different objects.

  • A Same object in opposite directions
  • B Different objects
  • C Same object in same direction
  • D Adjacent objects only

Correct answer: B. Different objects

Explanation: Action-reaction pairs act on different bodies. They never cancel each other because they act on different objects.

Free-body diagram of a block on an incline: weight (mg) resolves into mg sinθ along the slope and mg cosθ into the slope, balanced by the normal force N and friction f.

Concept context

Newton's three laws, friction, circular motion, and free body diagrams.
