Force Pairs

Front

What is a force pair?

Back

A force pair consists of two forces that are equal in size, but opposite in direction, acting on two different objects.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What happens when a player hits a ball with a bat?

Back

The action force is the impact of the bat against the ball, and the reaction force is the force of the ball against the bat.

Front

What is the direction of forces in a force pair?

Back

The forces in a force pair are in opposite directions.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

If two forces of 20 N and 30 N act in the same direction, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 50 N in the same direction.

Front

If two forces of 10 N and 5 N act in opposite directions, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 5 N in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law in everyday life?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the significance of action and reaction forces?

Back

They explain how objects interact with each other and help us understand motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.
