a mutual action between objects where each objects exerts simultaneously an equal-in-magnitude and opposite-in-direction force on the other
interaction
the force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction to the reaction force
action force
the source of a force
agent
a push or pull that acts on an object because of an interaction between the object and its environment
force
all forces come in pairs, called interaction pairs. the two forces occur simultaneously; each force acts on a different object; each force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
newton's 3rd law
the object or collection of objects upon which forces act
system
the force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction to the action force
