The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding action and reaction pairs, let's break down the concepts step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Action and Reaction Pairs According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always come in pairs. ### Step 2: Evaluating Each Statement Now, let's evaluate the three statements provided in the question: **(a) Act on two different objects:** This statement is true. Action and reaction forces act on two different objects. For example, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. **(b) Have opposite directions:** This statement is also true. The forces in an action-reaction pair always act in opposite directions. If object A pushes object B to the right, then object B pushes back on object A to the left with an equal force. **(c) Zero resultant:** This statement is true as well. When considering a system where only internal forces (action-reaction pairs) are acting, the net force is zero. This means that the forces cancel each other out, resulting in no net external force acting on the system. ### Conclusion All three statements (a), (b), and (c) are correct regarding action and reaction pairs. ### Final Answer - (a) Act on two different objects: True - (b) Have opposite directions: True - (c) Zero resultant: True
