Newtons Third Law

• What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

  For every action, there is an equal reaction
• What happens when two objects interact according to Newton's Third Law?

  The forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite
• If a person pushes against a wall, what does the wall do according to Newton's Third Law?

  The wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the person
• How do the forces between two interacting objects differ from forces acting on the same object?

  Forces between objects are equal and opposite, while forces on one object can differ
• Do the forces exerted by two interacting objects cancel each other out?

  No, they do not cancel out
• What is the significance of action and reaction forces in different objects?

  They act on different objects and do not cancel
• What are the key components of action and reaction forces in Newton's Third Law?

  • Action force: exerted by one object
  • Reaction force: exerted by another object
  • Both forces are equal in magnitude
  • Both forces are opposite in direction
