Real questions that test this

दोन वस्तू, A आणि B यांचे वस्तुमान अनुक्रमे m1 आणि m2 आहे. न्यूटनच्या गतीविषयक तिसऱ्या नियमानुसार, A वस्तू B वस्तूवर जे बल प्रयुक्त करते ते, Two objects, A and B have masses m1 and m2, respectively. According to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by A on B is :

a)समान आणि विरुद्ध दिशेने असते / equal and in opposite direction✓ Correct
b)असमान आणि एकाच दिशेने असते / different and in the same direction
c)समान आणि एकाच दिशेने असते / equal and in the same direction
d)असमान आणि विरुद्ध दिशेने असते / different and in opposite direction

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, the force exerted by A on B is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
