The short answer is the cat is not a rigid body. Newtons Laws are inviolate and there are no external torques on the cat but by clever counterotation the cat can get her feet downward without offending Sir isaac.fxdung said:Do action force and reaction force(Newton's third law) lie on same line?If not then the angular momentum will be violated.I don't know why a cat falling can rotate itself before contact land if the conservative law of angular momentum not be violated?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
Newton's third law states that the action and reaction forces are equal and opposite. This means that the two forces will have the same magnitude and opposite direction, causing them to lie on the same line.
Yes, according to Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces can be on different objects. This is because the forces are always equal and opposite, regardless of which objects they are acting on.
No, the effects of the action and reaction forces can be different depending on the mass and acceleration of the objects. For example, if a small object exerts a force on a larger object, the larger object will experience a smaller acceleration compared to the smaller object.
No, the action and reaction forces cannot cancel each other out because they are acting on different objects. However, they can result in a state of equilibrium where the two forces are balanced and there is no overall acceleration.
