Opposite Forces: An example is of tug 'a war. There are two opposing forces on both sides of the rope, so it does't move.

When you sit in a chair, your weight exerts a downward force on the chair, while the chair exerts an equal and opposite upward force on you. This is an example of Newton's third law of motion in action.
All Forces! For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs"
An example of equal and opposite pairs is Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For instance, when a person pushes against a wall with a certain force (action), the wall pushes back with an equal force in the opposite direction (reaction).
Force pairs act on an object when that object exerts a force on another object and, in response, experiences an equal and opposite force from the other object. This is based on Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that forces always come in pairs - if one object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal but opposite force back on the first object.
Some examples of Newton's Third law pairs include: when you push against a wall, the wall pushes back on you with an equal force; when a rocket expels gas downward, the gas exerts an equal and opposite force on the rocket, propelling it upward; when you row a boat, you push water backwards, causing the boat to move forward.
