Newton's Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Action-reaction pairs
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction acting on different objects.
Examples of action-reaction
A rocket propelling upward pushes exhaust gases downward.
Fill the blank: Action on a book resting on a table is ______.
the weight of the book acting downward.
True or false: Action and reaction forces act on the same object.
False, because they act on different objects.
Difference between action and reaction forces
Action is the initial force; reaction is the response force.
What happens in a collision?
Both objects exert forces on each other that are equal and opposite.
Question: What is an example of action-reaction?
Walking: your foot pushes backwards, ground pushes you forward.
Fill the blank: A swimmer pushes water backward to ______.
propel themselves forward.
True or false: All forces must be equal.
False, because forces can differ in action and reaction pairs.
Question: What is action in a car pushing against a wall?
The force of the car against the wall.
Difference between internal and external forces
Internal forces act within a system; external forces act on the system.
Question: How does a jet engine work?
It expels gas backward, propelling the jet forward.
True or false: Action and reaction forces cancel each other.
False, because they act on different objects and do not cancel.
Question: Why don’t we feel action-reaction forces?
They act on separate objects, so we don’t experience them together.
Action on a balloon
When air rushes out, the balloon flies in the opposite direction.
What is an action force when jumping?
Pushing down on the ground with your legs.
Question: How does a skateboard move?
Pushing the ground backward creates a forward motion.
Fill the blank: A bird flapping its wings creates ______.
an upward lift by pushing air downwards.
Definition of force
A push or pull on an object resulting from its interaction with another object.
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
