What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is dependent on mass and the gravitational pull.

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal force.

Front

What happens to the forces when two objects interact?

Back

The forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Front

What is an example of action and reaction forces?

Back

When a rocket launches, the action is the rocket pushing down on the ground, and the reaction is the ground pushing the rocket upward.
