Question

1. compare and contrast the forces involved in a balanced force and newtons 3rd law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In a balanced - force situation, the net force on an object is zero, meaning the forces acting on it are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. However, Newton's 3rd - law forces act on two different objects (action - reaction pair), while balanced forces act on the same object. For example, if a book is on a table, the weight of the book (force due to gravity) and the normal force from the table on the book are balanced forces acting on the book. The reaction to the book's weight (the force the book exerts on the Earth) and the reaction to the normal force (the force the book exerts on the table) are Newton's 3rd - law pairs.

Answer:

In balanced forces, the forces act on the same object and result in a net force of zero. In Newton's 3rd - law forces, the forces act on two different objects and are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as an action - reaction pair.
