STATEMENT -1 : Action and reaction acting on a particle cancels each other . STATEMENT -2 : Action and reaction pair acts on different particles . STATEMENT -3 : If an object is placed on a table then normal reaction by the table and weight are action reaction pair and they cancel each other .

Assertion :- A block is hanged from spring. Spring force on block gravitational force on block are not action and reaction pair. Reason :- Action and reaction force acts in opposite direction.

When a person walks on a rough surface, the frictional force exerted by surface on the person is opposite to the direction of his motion. It is the force exerted by the road on the person that causes the motion.

A hot- air balloon consists of a basket, one passenger, and some carge. Let the total mass be M. Even though there is an upward lift force on the balloon, the balloon is initially acceleration downwards at a rate of g//3 . (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the descending balloon. (b) Find the upward lift force in terms of the initial total weight Mg. (c ) The passenger notices that he is heading straight for a waterfall and decides he needs to go up. What fraction of the total weight must he drop overboard so that the balloon accelerates upward at a rate of g//2 ? Assume that the upward lift force remains the same.
