What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the force exerted by the ground when you apply more force to it?

Back

What is the reaction when a gymnast decreases the force they exert on a trampoline?

Back

The gymnast will be pushed back by the trampoline with less force and not go as high into the air.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law in action?

Back

By pushing backwards, a roller skater moves forward.

Front

What is the relationship between action and reaction forces?

Back

They are equal in size but opposite in direction.

How does Newton's Third Law apply to rocket propulsion?

Back
