Q

What is Newton’s third law

A

For every action force, there is a reaction force of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction

17
Q

Explain action-reaction pair of object on a table

A

Book on table experiences gravitational force = weight
A reaction called normal force exists in the opposite direction

Book remains on table because magnitude of the weight (action) = normal force (reaction)

18
Q

Explain the action-reaction pair of an object that floats on water

A

Object on water experiences gravitational force = weight
A reaction called buoyant force exists in the opposite direction

Object floats on water because magnitude of weight (action) = buoyant force (reaction)

19
Q

Explain the action-reaction pair between two trolleys in contact with each other and launched with a spring mechanism

A

Trolley 1 w/ spring: Exert elastic force on trolley 2 (action)
Trolley 2: Exert elastic force of same magnitude in the opposite direction (reaction)
When two trolleys initially touching each other are launched, they will move at same distance but in opposite direction
