What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for forces to be simultaneous?

Back

Front

What is an example of a force pair in everyday life?

Front

How can you identify equal and opposite forces in a diagram?

Back

Look for two forces that are the same size but act in opposite directions on different objects.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object when a force is applied?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the applied force, depending on its mass.

Front

What is the significance of force pairs in understanding motion?

Back

Force pairs help explain how objects interact and move in response to forces.

Front

Can a force exist without a corresponding force pair?

Back

No, every force has a corresponding force pair acting in the opposite direction.

Front

What is an example of a force pair in sports?

Back

When a player kicks a ball, the ball exerts an equal and opposite force back on the player's foot.

Front

How do force pairs relate to action and reaction?

Back

Force pairs illustrate the action-reaction principle where one force is the action and the other is the reaction.
