Newton's Third Law Review

Newton's Third Law is also known as...

• The Law of Inertia

• The Law of Acceleration

• The Law of Conservation of Momentum (Force Pairs)

Newton's Third Law States...

• Objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest
• Force is equal to mass times acceleration
• For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Air resistance against the bow
• the arrow's push against the bowstring
• the grip of the archer's hand on the bow

A player throws a ball. The action force is the player impact on the ball. The reaction force is...

• The force of the ball impact on the player
• The force of the grip of the ball
• The celebration the player is thinking of

A player hits a ball with a bat. The action force is the impact of the bat against the ball. The reaction force is...
