Mathew W
Newton's Third Law
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Every action has | An equal and opposite reaction |
| Who Discovered the 3rd Law of Motion? | Issac Newton |
| Do action/reaction pairs act on the same object? | No, they act on different objects. |
| Name the action/reaction pair that causes a rocket to take off. | Exhaust pushes the ground and the ground pushes the rocket. |
| Do action/reaction forces cancel? | No because they act on different objects. |
| Can you always detect motion in an action/reaction pair? | No, because some object's inertia is so great that you can not tell if the object bis in motion. |
| Name an action/reaction pair. | Ex. Jumping(feet/ground), volleyball(ball/wrists), kayaking(paddle/water). |
| Explain how a rocket takes off, using an action/reaction pair. | The exhaust from the rocket pushes the ground and the ground pushes back causing the rocket to take off. |
| If two forces are causing an hitting an object, causing an equal reaction force does this create motion. | No, there is no motion created if the forces are equal coming from both sides. |
| Explain how someone can jump, using an action/reaction pair. | Their feet exert a force on the ground causing the ground to exert an equal force on their feet making the person leave the ground. |
