It seems like we're all still struggling with completely understanding Newton's Laws, especially his third law. SO, I am obviously a lousy teacher and I need your help. I'm looking this week for the BEST of the BEST explanations/examples of Newton's Third Law. Post them here and feel free to critique others. I'm going to give a million or two to whoever has the best!

This is about how for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction for an example lets say that an apple falls from a tree the gravity acts upon it

So what does everyone think? Is this Newton's third law, or is this cause and effect?

I would say that is cause and effect.

an example of Newton's third law would like how sometimes you find it hard to walk on a slippery surface because the only way you can walk forward is for your foot to push backward on the surface of the ground. Through friction, the ground is essentially the "push back" against the force of your step.

As were talking about it in class say some one was riding a skate board when u push off on object you go in motion forward, there for representing newton's third law.

A good example of Newtons 3rd law would be punching something. Not just something, but someone. Punching someone in the face would cause their head and body to go back, but your hand/knuckles would hurt pretty bad. (not crazy, just making an example!) But say you punched a wall in the same way you punched the person, and your hand hurts worse. Why does punching the wall hurt worse than punching the person?

NICE work! Perfect. Another example anyone?

A good example or newtons 3rd law, the law of motion, would be shooting a gun. When you pull the trigger it forces the bullet forwards out of the gun , but the opposite reaction would be the kick of the gun pushing you backwards.

Thanks a good one too! Other ideas?

One example of newton's third law would be a bird flying. The law says for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. So, when the bird flaps its wings it pushes the air in a downward direction. The opposite reaction would be the air pushing the bird up. Resulting in the bird being able to stay in the air.

What does everyone else think?

like when a fish swims its tail pushes on the water and the water pushes back making the fish go forward

An example of Newton's 3rd Law could be when you let go of a balloon and it goes off flying everywhere. The balloons reaction is it flying up, and the balloons action would be its air pushing down. As the air is pushing it causes the balloon to fly. So the air rushing out of the balloon would represent Newton's 3rd Law of, for every action there is a reaction. 1/5/2014 05:23:45 am
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. (copied off of website) (what i think of) When skiing you usually use ski poles to push off the ground with to go faster or change direction. When you push off the snow covered ground it moves your bodies and with the help of momentum to go faster. But it also effects the ground your pushing off of. Moving the snow and dirt underneath, this is the reaction. Comments are closed.
