Action and reaction forces act on:
Correct answer: B. Different objects
- A. The same object
- B. Different objects
- C. The surrounding environment
- D. Cannot be determined
Explanation
Newton's third law states that action and reaction forces are equal, opposite, and act on two different interacting bodies, not on the same object.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
