Which statement is TRUE about forces according to Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Question

a.All forces are independent - forces never have a "reaction" force

b.Only some forces in certain situations have a "reaction" force

c.Forces always have a "reaction" force which are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Answer 1

The TRUE statement according to Newton's Third Law of Motion is:

c. Forces always have a "reaction" force which are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first object.
