Understanding Newton's Third Law of Motion

The video tutorial explains Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This concept is demonstrated through a balloon experiment, where the air rushing out of the balloon represents the action, and the movement of the balloon in the opposite direction represents the reaction. The tutorial further analyzes how the air escaping the balloon pushes out in every direction, causing the balloon to move forward.

What does Newton's third law of motion state?

• The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object.

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

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

• An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

In the balloon experiment, what is considered the action?

• The balloon moving forward

• The air rushing out of the balloon

• The balloon staying still

• The air entering the balloon

What is the reaction in the balloon experiment?

• The air moving in the same direction as the balloon

• The balloon popping

• The air staying inside the balloon

• The balloon moving in the opposite direction

How does the air escaping the balloon affect its movement?

• It stops the balloon from moving.

• It pushes the balloon forward in every direction.

• It makes the balloon spin in circles.

• It causes the balloon to move backward.

What happens to the balloon as the air escapes in every direction?

• The balloon deflates completely.

• The balloon moves backward.

• The balloon moves forward in every direction.

• The balloon remains stationary.
