Newton’s third law of motion

• What does Newton's third law of motion state about the forces between two interacting objects?

  The forces are equal and opposite
• How does Newton's third law apply when a skateboarder jumps off a skateboard?

  • The skateboarder pushes the skateboard.
  • The skateboard pushes back on the skateboarder.
  • Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
• What happens when a rocket fires according to Newton's third law?

  • The rocket pushes down on exhaust gases.
  • The exhaust gases push back on the rocket.
  • Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
• How does a car's wheels interact with the road according to Newton's third law?

  • The wheel exerts a force on the road.
  • The road exerts a force on the wheel.
  • Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
• What is the direction of the force exerted by the hot exhaust gases on the rocket?

  Upwards
• What is the direction of the force exerted by the paddle on the water?

  Downwards
• How do the forces exerted by the skateboard and skateboarder relate to each other?

  They are equal in magnitude and opposite
