Q

Forces between 2 different objects always occur in

A

Pairs

16
Q

Pairs of forces are called

A

Action reaction force pairs

17
Q

When A pushes on B, – pushes back!

A

B

18
Q

Characteristics of force pairs

A
  • Equal in magnitude
  • Opposite in direction
  • Occur at the same time
  • Neither force exists without the other
  • the forces don’t cancel because they act on different objects
  • A force exerted on a small mass produces a greater acceleration than the same force exerted large mass
