What is the 3rd of Newton's laws?

Question

Kayleigh Robertson · Answer

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Amelia Ghanea · Answer

The 3rd Law explains how two objects with mass interact. Essentially, they exert equal and opposite force on each other, which is also phrased as "every force has an equal and opposite reaction". if object A physically interacts (exerting a force) on object B, then object B will exert an identical force on A in the opposite direction.

Souvik Ghosh · Answer

Newton's 3rd Law states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Latoya Van Der Meer · Answer

Newton's 3rd law is as follows: All forces come in pairs. These forces are:the same type of force (e.g. both are gravitational) have the same size (magnitude)act in opposite directions to one anotheract at the same time,act on different objectsThe 'action = reaction' referred to is this pair of forces that must fit all of these 5 points to be considered an action-reaction pair. A common mistake is thinking that a book lying on a table has weight and normal reaction as its action-reaction pairs. This is incorrect because a) both forces act on the same object (the book) and b) these are not the same type of force - normal reaction is electromagnetic whereas the weight of the book is gravitational. The fact that both of these forces have the same magnitude and act in opposite directions is an example of equilibrium instead.But all forces come in pairs so what are the other 2 forces that do make up the action-reaction pairs? Well the first is the gravitational pull from the Earth, this forms the action-reaction pair with the weight of the book. Secondly, the normal reaction of the book onto the table with the normal reaction of the table onto the book forms the other action-reaction pair.

James Hilder · Answer

Avoid thinking about action and reaction or you will be confused by the book and the table example above. The proper statement is "Object A forces object B means object B forces object A with an equal and opposite force." The two forces in a Newton's Third Law pair are 1. equal magnitude 2. opposite direction 3. Act on different objects 4. Are THE SAME TYPE OF FORCE.

SANDEEP SAJI · Answer

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Antonio Valente · Answer

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore when two objects interact they will exert on each other forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Ali Abdellatif · Answer

Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction.

Graham Martin · Answer

Whenever two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other.

Lauren Franklin · Answer

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, if you were to apply a force to a football of 50 Newtons, the ball would push back on your foot with a force of 50 Newtons.
