The force acting on an object is a result of its interaction with another object. There is no
such thing as an isolated force. When object A exerts a force on object B, Object B also exerts a
force on object A. They have the same magnitude but opposite in direction. The forces exerted by the
objects interacting with each other are called action and reaction force.
Have you tried hitting a table with your palm or fist? Did it hurt you? You exerted a force on
the table when you hit it (action). You may not see it, but the table exerted the same amount of
force (reaction) on your palm or fist.
In figure below, It shows that action and reaction forces have equal magnitude and are
opposite in direction. Arrows A shows the force exerted by the palm on the table. Arrows B, on the
other hand, shows the force exerted by the table on the palm.
Do the Exercise!
