These pairs of forces are known as -reaction pairs because one pushes against the other with an equal but opposite force.

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector inside a tv tube. the electron strikes the screen after traveling 26 cm horizontally and 19 cm vertically upward with no horizontal acceleration. what is the constant vertical acceleration provided by the deflector? (the effects of gravity can be ignored.)
