Forces and Motion - Force Pairs

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion until an outside force acts upon it

• the acceleration of an object will be equal to the net force of an object divided by its mass

• for every action, there will be an equal and opposite reaction

• an object that is not moving will stay not moving moving until an unbalanced force acts on it

Pick the best example of Newton’s third law of motion in action.

• a rock skipping across a lake

• An asteroid continuing to spin because nothing has exerted a force to stop it

• An asteroid moving around the Sun while being pulled toward the Sun

• A rocket accelerating in space as a result of gases and the rocket pushing each other in opposite directions

If you throw a ball into the air, Earth exerts a force on the ball. The ball in the air exerts no force on Earth.

• True; all forces act alone

• False; there will always be a force pair
