The first part of Newton's third law of motion is:

"Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: ..."

Translation:

'To the action there is always opposed and equal reaction: ...'

This is often expressed as:

"To (or For) every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: ..."

Therefore the phrase in the question is not right because Newton's law has been incorrectly quoted. The word 'always' should also have been included.

However, given that the quoted phrase is only half of what Newton actually stated as his third law, then, in the field of motion physics, it can only be HALF RIGHT at most.

And even if Newton's law had been correctly quoted, it is still only a law of motion physics, so it is not necessarily 'right' in the sense of a being a universal truism.

Does The Law of Action and Reaction states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction force?

Yes, the Law of Action and Reaction, also known as Newton's third law of motion, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal but opposite force back on the first object.


Why every action has reaction?

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction to achieve Equilibrium where the forces sum to zero.
