What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define 'action force'.

Back

The force exerted by one object on another in a pair of interacting objects.

Front

Define 'reaction force'.

Back

The force exerted by the second object back on the first object in a pair of interacting objects.

Front

True or False: Action and reaction forces can exist in isolation.

Back

False: Action and reaction forces always occur in pairs.

Front

What happens to the forces when two objects interact?

Back

Both action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Front

Give an example of action and reaction forces in everyday life.

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward (action) while you move forward (reaction).

Front

What is the significance of action-reaction pairs in motion?

Back

They explain how objects can move in opposite directions due to their interactions.

Front

How do action and reaction forces affect motion?

Back

They do not cancel each other out; instead, they influence the motion of the objects involved.

Front

What is meant by 'force'?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from its interaction with another object.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).
