Forces that come in pairs are called action-reaction pairs. According to Newton's third law of motion, forces in nature always occur in pairs of equal and opposite magnitude. This means that if a force is exerted on an object, it must be exerted by something else, and the object will exert an equal and opposite force back on that something. These force pairs are referred to as action-reaction pairs.

Forces come in pairs called action-reaction pairs, as stated in Newton's Third Law of Motion. This law indicates that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Understanding this helps explain how objects interact with one another in various situations.
