Understanding Newton's Third Law of Motion

What happens when you sit on a chair according to Newton's Third Law?

• Your body exerts no force on the chair.

• The chair exerts an upward force on your body.

• Your body exerts an upward force on the chair.

• The chair exerts a downward force on the ground.

How do birds manage to fly according to the principles of physics?

• By flapping their wings faster than the speed of sound.

• By pushing air downwards with their wings.

• By reducing their body weight significantly.

• By using the wind to lift them upwards.

In the example of a boy dribbling a ball, what role does the ground play?

• It only provides a surface for the ball to bounce.

• It exerts no force on the ball.

• It exerts a force equal to the force of the hand on the ball.

• It absorbs all the force from the ball.

What is the key principle of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

• For every action, there is a similar reaction.

• For every action, there is no reaction.

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

• For every action, there is a greater reaction.

What is the significance of action-reaction force pairs?

• They make it possible for objects to interact and move.

• They prevent objects from moving.

• They enable objects to remain stationary.

• They allow objects to move in the same direction.
