Action and Reaction from Newton's 3rd Law of motion

Question

An Action and Reaction are equal and opposite pair of forces, yet they do not cancel each other -- explain

Answer 1

Equal and opposite forces cancel each other only if they act on a same object.

Action and Reaction although equal but opposite act on mutually different bodies. If A exerts an action on B, then the body B will exert the reaction on A.

Thus, Action is exerted by the body A on B

whereas Reaction is exerted by the body B on A

Clearly, these are exerted on different bodies, and they do not cancel.
