Newton's Third Law: Action/Reaction
By: Kiasia Hayes
Explaination for Newton's Third Law of Motion
A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. The third law of motion states that for every action force there will be an reaction force. These forces are equal and opposites. Although there is no motion in an object the action and reaction forces are still present.
Car Dummy
This picture describes the action and reaction phase. The action part of the drawing is the car driving into the block thing. The reaction part of this is when the car dummy flies out the car. So because the car hit the block thingy (action) the car dummy flew out the car (reaction).
Soccer
According to Newton's third law, the foot and the ball exert equal and opposite forces upon each other. When you kick the soccer ball, you put the ball in motion. There is a force that moves the ball and a force that you feel acting on your foot.
