CBSE Class 9 Answered
If action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, then why do they result in change in momentum of the body?

Expert Answer
Action and reaction forces are indeed equal and opposite, but they act on two different bodies. Hence, they do not cancel each other.
Therefore, they result in a change in momentum in the respective bodies.
