Introduction to Newton's Third Law

The video tutorial explains Newton's third law of motion, emphasizing that for every force exerted by one object on another, there is an equal and opposite force exerted back. The tutorial critiques the common action-reaction terminology, illustrating the concept with examples like a ball colliding with a head, a hammer striking a nail, and a person interacting with the Great Wall of China. The video highlights that these forces act simultaneously and are not sequential actions and reactions.
