Because they are acting on different objects.
The action and reaction forces - in the sense of Newton's Third Law - act on different objects. In some everyday situations, such as a book lying on a table, pressing down on the table, and the table pressing up on the book, these forces are balanced by additional forces, in other cases, they are not.
Please note that "action" and "reaction" forces (from Newton's Third Law) act on different objects. Only forces acting on the same object may cancel out (for purposes of Newton's Second Law), if their vector sum happens to be zero.

Action-reaction forces always act on different objects. According to Newton's third law of motion, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. These forces cannot cancel each other out because they act on different objects.

∙ 13y agoAction and Reaction forces are not balanced forces because they act on two objects. Examples:::::::
1. When you lift up your book bag, your book bag pulls down on you.
2. When you walk you push back on the ground, and the ground pushes up on you.
GRAVITY AND THE 3RD NEWTON'S LAW
According to the third law, you aren't just pulled to the Earth- Earth is also pulled toward you. Because Earth has such a large mass, the force you exert on it doesn't have a noticeable effect.

∙ 12y agoWhen an action brings about an equal and opposite reaction, there are a number of possible consequences. A frequent consequence would be to cause two objects to move in opposite directions. The action of rocket exhaust leaving a rocket nozzle causes the rocket to move in the opposite direction. Rather than cancelling each other, the action and reaction make each other possible.

∙ 12y agoThey always do! If the action of your weight on the seat of your chair were not exactly
cancelled by the reaction of the force of the chair against your body, then your bottom
would be accelerating vertically, either up or down, depending on which of the two was
the greater force.
Wherever you see one thing pushing on something else but not moving it, you know
that the forces where they meet are exactly matched, otherwise something would be
accelerating.
Don't forget that little phrase in Newton's law where it says that for every action,
there is an equal and opposite reaction. If they're really equal and opposite, then
they definitely do cancel each other out. And I think you'll agree that old Ike generally
knew what he was talking about.

Can a force directed vertically on an object ever cancel a force directed horizontally?
No, vertical and horizontal forces act independently of each other and do not cancel each other out unless they are components of the same force vector. The only way for a vertical force to cancel out a horizontal force is if the vertical force is part of a force vector that is pointing at an angle to the horizontal force.
Why first order reaction never completes?
A first-order reaction will never be completed because the reaction rate depends only on the concentration of one reactant. As the reaction progresses and the reactant is consumed, the concentration of the reactant decreases, causing the reaction rate to also decrease. This gradual decrease in reaction rate means that the reaction will continue indefinitely, given enough time.
What is true of a dynamic equilibrium?
When the concentration of the reactants is equal to the concentration of the products and does not change over time, the system has reached dynamic equilibrium. Dynamic equilibrium means that the reaction is still occurring and does not stop. The reaction never reaches completion, because the reverse reaction is moving at the same rate as the forward reaction. The products and reactants are balanced. The reactants are producing at the same speed that the products are changing back into the reactants. When a reaction is in dynamic equilibrium, it is hard to tell that a reaction is occurring. There is no net change in the concentration of the products or reactants because both forward and reverse reactions are moving at the same rate.
What is Isacc Newtons first three laws?
An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the applied force. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction at the critical moment of action reaction could zero gravity be created?
Zero gravity cannot be created by the equal and opposite reaction principle alone; it is a specific condition of apparent weightlessness experienced by objects in free fall. To create zero gravity artificially, one would need to simulate the conditions of weightlessness, such as in space or during parabolic flight.
When do action and reaction forces within a system not cancel each other?
Never, they always cancel each other
When do action and reaction forces cancel out each other?
Action and reaction forces never cancel each other out. They represent a pair of forces acting on two different objects in opposite directions. They have equal magnitudes but act on different bodies, so they do not cancel each other out.
Can action-reaction forces always act in the same direction?
No, they can NEVER act in the same directions.
Are the action and reaction forces in newtons third law equally proportional?
I've never heard of "equally proportional" and have no idea what it means.The action and reaction forces in Newton's third law are EQUAL in strength,and act in opposite directions. (That means they always add up to zero.)
Do Action - reaction force pair never cancel each other?
Action-reaction force pairs do not cancel each other out because they act on different objects. According to Newton's third law of motion, when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
Name three action and reaction force pairs involved in doing homework Name what the object is exertingand what the object is receiving the forces?
When you press down on a pencil while writing, the pencil exerts an equal upward reaction force on your hand. When you push a book across a table, the book exerts an equal and opposite force back on your hand. When you lift a textbook off the ground, your hand exerts an upward force on the book, and the book exerts an equal downward force on your hand.
Life is action not contemplation?
Every action has a reaction. you know to get something action must be performed. Tougths never makes action & reaction
Can a force directed vertically on an object ever cancel a force directed horizontally?
No, vertical and horizontal forces act independently of each other and do not cancel each other out unless they are components of the same force vector. The only way for a vertical force to cancel out a horizontal force is if the vertical force is part of a force vector that is pointing at an angle to the horizontal force.
Do force act in pairs?
Yes Forces always act in pairs and never alone!!!!!!Newtons 3rd law clearly states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reactin!!!!
Why was Kevin Rudd going to cancel the NAPLAN?
There was never any plan for Kevin Rudd to cancel NAPLAN. Whilst state school teachers were preared to strike, refusing to supervise the test properly, they withdrew their intended action because a compromise was reached regarding publication and use of the results.
