Newton 3rd Law
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state? | For every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. |
| T/F: Pairs of action and reaction forces are all around us. | True |
| T/F: You can always detect motion when paired forces are in action. | False |
| Why do action and reaction forces not cancel each other out? | They are acting on different objects. |
| What is Momentum? | Characteristic of a moving object that is related to the mass and the velocity of the object. |
| How can the momentum of an object be found? | By multiplying the object's mass and velocity. |
| T/F: The more momentum an object has the harder it is to stop. | True |
| What is the Law of Consercation of Momentum? | in absence of outside forces, the total momentum of objects that interact do not change |
| T/F: Total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless acted on by an outside force. | True |
| Name an action and reaction pair. | Foot kicking a soccerball. |
