According to Newton's third law of motion, forces always occur in pairs called action-reaction pairs. Which of the following statements is/are FALSE about these forces? 1 If the action is a non-contact force, the reaction can be a contact force or a non-contact force. 2 The action force is equal to the reaction force. 3 The action and reaction forces cannot act on the same body.
