What is Newton's Third Law also known as?
The Law of Acceleration
The Law of Inertia
The Law of Action-Reaction
When an action force occurs, there is always a reaction force. Which of the following TWO terms describe the reaction force?
stronger
downward
opposite
weaker
equal
When a baseball player catches a ball, the ball pushes towards the glove; this is the action force. What is the reaction force?
The reaction force is the glove pushing back on the ball with a stronger force.
The reaction force is the glove pulling back on the ball with an equal force.
The reaction force is the glove pushing back on the ball with an equal force.
The reaction force is the ball pushing away from the glove with an equal force.
When a baseball bat hits a baseball, how does the force of the baseball hitting the bat compare to the force of the bat hitting the baseball?
The bat hitting the ball is a greater force than the ball hitting the bat
The bat hitting the ball is a weaker force than the ball hitting the bat
The bat hitting the ball is equal to the force of the ball hitting the bat
The bat hitting the ball is the only force in this situation
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite (a) .
A _______ is a push or a pull that acts on an object as a result of its interaction with another object.
action
acceleration
force
momentum
When a small car pushes a big truck, the truck applies an equal and opposite force on the car.
False
True
A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 Newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?
100 Newtons, same direction
100 Newtons, opposite direction
200 Newtons, opposite direction
200 Newtons, same direction
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.
As fuel is combusted, the rocket pushes the gases backward and the gases push the rocket forward.
This allows the rocket to be steered properly.
The illustration shows the forces in Newtons (N) acting on three different blocks. Which blocks will move under these conditions?
Blocks 1 and 2
Blocks 2 and 3
Blocks 1, 2, and 3
Blocks 1 and 3
When a cannon fires a cannonball we observe Newton's third law. Which is the reaction force?
The cannon moving forward
The cannon moving backwards
The cannonball moving backwards
The cannonball moving forward
When a heavy football player and a light one run into each other, who exerts more force
