Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The action and reaction both act simultaneously" is true, we can analyze it using Newton's Third Law of Motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Newton's Third Law of Motion**: - According to Newton's Third Law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always occur in pairs. 2. **Setting Up the Scenario**: ...

A body has a time of 3 s under the action of one force and 4 s under the action of another force. Calculate the time period when both the forces act in the same direction simultaneously. Assume that the body undergoes the same displacement, under the action of the two different forces.

Statement A : Action and reaction act on two different bodies Statement B : Action, reaction never cancel each other

Statement A : Action and reaction act on two different bodies Statement B : Action, reaction never cancel each other

Assertion: The terms action and reaction in the third law of motion stand for simultaneous mutual force between a pair of bodies. Reason: In this context action always precede or cause reaction.

Assertion: There is no cause-effect relation between action and reaction. Reason: Action and reaction are not simultaneous force.

(A) : In the third laws of motion, action doesn't precede or cause reaction (R) : Action-reaction are simultaneous mutual forces between a pair of bodies
