16.

Why don't action-reaction forces cancel each other?

a)

For every interaction between things, there is always a pair of oppositely directed forces that are equal in strength

b)

A force is always part of a mutual action that involves another force

c)

Action and reaction forces do not cancel each other when either of the forces is external to the system to the system being considered
