Though action and reaction forces are al...

Though action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude, yet they may not produce acceleration of equal magnitude. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As acceleration = force/mass, therefore, accelerations produced will have unequal magnitude when masses of two bodies on which action and reaction forces act are unequal
