Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two bodies are in contact, they exert forces on each other. These forces are called action- reaction forces. They are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, and they act on different bodies.
Consider the following statements: - A: When two bodies are in contact with each other, they exert forces on each other. - B: These forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
