Newton's Third Law

Newton's Third Law

Whenever one objest exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.

• Force is an interaction between one thing and another.
• One force is an action force and the other is a reaction force.
• Forces occur in pairs. Ex. When you walk on the floor, the floor pushes on you as you are pushing on the floor.
• Acceleration = force/mass
• Action Reaction forces do not cancle
• Actions equal Reactions
• For every interaction between things, there is always a pair od oppositely directed forces that are equal in strengh
