A '''reaction force''' is a [[force]] which acts in the opposite direction to an applied [[force]], following [[Newton's Third Law]].
===About Reaction Force===
: [[Newton's Third Law]] states that "For every [[Action Force|action force]] there is a whenever two objects interact, the [[Reaction Force|reaction force]] with an s they exert on each other are equal in [[magnitude]] but acting and opposite in the opposite direction".
: The terms '[[Action Force|action force]]' and '[[Reaction Force|reaction force]]' may sometimes be misleading as [[force]]s always act in [[Force Pair|pairs]].
