According to Newton's Third Law, if someone jumps off a skateboard, the skateboard will roll backwards because --

• the mass of the skateboard is the same as the mass of the person jumping off.

• for the force that sent the person forward, there is an equal force pushing back on the skateboard.

• the pull of gravity on the person is the same as on the skateboard, regardless of size.

• the air resistance on the person is great and the fricion on the skateboard is small.

The nozzle of a rocket is pointed downward so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes downward. Why is this arrangement necessary for a rocket to function properly?

• The rocket is protected from the heat of the exhaust.

• Burned fuel can be collected on the ground.

• This allows the rocket to be steered properly.

• As fuel is combusted, the rocket pushes the gases backward and the gases push the rocket forward.

The head of a hammer is often made of steel. This makes the head heavy, which helps create a strong force for driving nails. Steel is also strong. The head of a hammer must be strong to resist what force?

• The force of the nail pushing in the opposite direction

• The force of the air resistance on the moving hammer

• The force of the person using the hammer

• The force of gravity pulling down on the hammer

Match the following

• Collide

• To strike or hit something with great force

• Reaction

• A push or a pull that changes an object's motion

• Force

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

• Motion

• A change in position of an object relating to time

• Newton's third law

• This is always equal and opposite to the action force

The illustration shows all the forces in Newtons (N) acting on a box. The sum of all the forces acting on the box results in a force acting on the box--

• to the left with a strength of 7 Newtons

• to the right with a strength of 25 Newtons

• to the right with a strength of 11 Newtons

• to the left with a strength of 6 Newtons
