Newtons Third Law

Newtons Third Law of Motion Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction F(AB) = - F(BA) Forces come in pairs. In nature there is no single force (all by itself).

Examples I exert a force on a desk with my foot and the desk exerts a force back on my foot. ( I kick a desk and the desk kicks me back. ) A hammer exerts a force on a nail and the nail exerts a force back on the hammer.

Force on and by A force influences the motion of an object only when it is applied on that object. A force exerted by a body does not influence that body (itself); it only influences the OTHER body on which it is exerted. F(AB) = - F(BA)

Group Activity 1. Explain walking forward on East Bottom. 2. Explain birds flying south. 3. Explain a rocket lifting off Cape Canaveral. 4. A person throws a package out of a boat (initially at rest). 5. A bat exerts a 50 N force on a baseball. 6. An inflated, but untied, balloon flies off. 7. Earth exerts gravitation on the moon.
