Newton’s Third Law

Cards (10)

  • What should you be able to describe by the end of the video?
    Newton's third law of motion
  • What do Newton's first and second laws of motion indicate about their complexity?
    They are fairly straightforward
  • How does Newton's third law of motion describe the forces between two interacting objects?
    They are equal and opposite
  • Why is it recommended to learn Newton's third law exactly as stated?
    It may be required for exam answers
  • What can make Newton's third law seem tricky?
    Its conceptual nature and application
  • How does a skateboarder demonstrate Newton's third law?
    • The skateboarder pushes off the skateboard
    • The skateboard moves to the right
    • The skateboard pushes back on the skateboarder
    • The skateboarder moves to the left
  • What happens when a rocket fires according to Newton's third law?
    • The rocket produces a downward push on exhaust gases
    • The exhaust gases exert an equal upward force on the rocket
    • Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
  • How does a car's wheel demonstrate Newton's third law while driving?
    • The wheel exerts a backward force on the road
    • The road exerts a forward force on the wheel
    • Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
  • Where can you find more questions on Newton's third law?
    In the revision workbook
  • What is the relationship between the forces exerted by two objects according to Newton's third law?
    They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
