19 REF: C, K/U OBJ: 2.2 LOC: FMV.01 KEY: FOP 4.6, p ANS: For forces to be balanced, they must act on the same object and be equal and opposite. The reaction to any force does not act on the same object as the force; it acts in the opposite direction on the agent exerting the original force. Thus, when considering the motion of one object, we look at the force, and when considering the motion of the agent of this force, we look at the reaction.
