We can derive Newton's (a) second and third laws from the first law. (b) first and secund laws from the third law. (c) third and first laws from the second law. (d) all the three laws are independent of each other.
With respect to Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces... a) are equal provided the object is NOT at rest or moving with uniform motion b) being equal, imply a "balance" force situation c) are equal provided the object is moving with uniform motion d) act on different objects
