🗑
How does this law apply to everyday life?   When an object exerts force on an object, that object exerts an equal force on the first object.  
🗑
How are action and reaction forces related?   The reaction force exerts a force in the opposite direction in which the action force was directed.  
🗑
Can you always detect motion during an action force?   No, you cannot always detect it.  
🗑
Why do action and reaction forces not cancel each other out?   They act on different objects so there is a change in motion.  
🗑
Are action and reaction forces balanced or unbalanced?   They can be either.  
🗑
What happens when two objects exert force on an object with equal force?   The object will not in either direction.  
🗑
What would happen if you caught a ball on roller skates?   The force of the ball will push you backward.
