The fundamental aspect of Newton's third law is that action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and act on different objects. This is why they can never cancel each other out to result in zero net force on a single object.
Newton’s third law of motion states that the action and reaction are equal and opposite and - Question not attempted
