Newton’s Third Law Notes For every action there is an opposite, but equal reaction…
TEKS 8.6C investigate and describe applications of Newton’s law of inertia, law of force and acceleration, and law of action-reaction such as in vehicle restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earth’s tectonic activities, and rocket launches
Newton’s third law states that for every action there is always an opposite, but equal reaction.
This means that when you push on an object, it pushesback on you with equal force. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP0Bb3WXJ_k
The person is pushing on the ball, but the ball is pushing back on the person.
The reaction is NOT the ball moving forward (The ball moving forward is cause and effect)
