What is the reaction force when a rocket expels exhaust gases downward during launch?
The exhaust pushes the rocket upward
What does Newton's Third Law state?
Equal and opposite reaction
What are action-reaction pairs according to Newton's Third Law?
Equal and opposite forces
When a person pushes against a wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the person.
True
Steps to identify action and reaction forces
1️⃣ Identify the interaction between two objects
2️⃣ Determine the action force exerted by the first object on the second
3️⃣ Recognize the reaction force exerted by the second object on the first
What is the first step in applying Newton's Third Law to solve problems?
Identify the interaction
When a block is placed on a table, the action-reaction forces result in acceleration.
False
When a person pushes against a wall, the wall pushes back on the person
Match the action with its reaction in various examples:
Car pushes against the road ↔️ Road pushes car forward
Block exerts force on table ↔️ Table exerts force on block
What is the reaction force when a car pushes against the road?
Road pushes car forward
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
According to Newton's Third Law, action-reaction pairs involve one object exerting a force on another, and the second object exerting an equal and opposite force back on the first
Creating force diagrams is a key step in applying Newton's Third Law to solve problems.
True
What happens when a person pushes a stationary wall according to Newton's Third Law?
The wall pushes back equally
Arrange the following examples of Newton's Third Law in order from simplest to most complex:
1️⃣ Walking
2️⃣ Swimming
3️⃣ Firing a gun
4️⃣ Rocket launch
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
If a person pushes against a wall with a force of 50 N, the wall pushes back with the same force in the opposite direction.
True
Action-reaction pairs involve forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
How are action-reaction pairs related according to Newton's Third Law?
Equal in magnitude, opposite in direction
Match the action force with its reaction force when a person pushes against a wall:
Person exerts force on wall ↔️ Wall exerts force on person
Equal in magnitude ↔️ Equal in magnitude
Opposite in direction ↔️ Opposite in direction
To apply Newton's Third Law, create force diagrams highlighting the action-reaction pair
What happens when a person pushes against a stationary wall according to Newton's Third Law?
Person may move away
What is the reaction force when a rocket expels exhaust downward?
Exhaust pushes rocket upward
When a person pushes against a wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force
Newton's Third Law states that action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
True
The action and reaction forces in Newton's Third Law are equal in magnitude.
True
What happens when a person pushes against a wall with a force of 50 N according to Newton's Third Law?
The wall pushes back with 50 N
When a block is placed on a table, the block exerts a downward force on the table, which is the action
Newton's Third Law is the only law of motion that describes the interaction between two objects.
True
When you walk, you push backward on the ground, and the ground pushes you forward
