Newtons Third Law states that when
2
objects
interact
, the
forces
they exert on each other are
opposite
and
equal.
Inertial Mass - a measure of how difficult it is to
change
the
velocity
of an object. The ratio of
force
over
acceleration.
Inertia - the
tendency
of an object to stay
stationary
or continue at a
constant velocity.
Newton's third law also applies to 2 objects that
aren't
touching.
They could be
interacting
at a distance e.g.
gravitational attraction
