Action & Reaction ofrece una diversión sin fin. Se trata de un increíble sistema modular con pistas, accesorios y canicas, para crear pistas sorprendentes y disfrutar de emocionantes desafíos, descubriendo la fuerza de la gravedad.
Learn about the symmetry of nature: if an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. See examples of Newton's third law in action, such as swimming, walking, rockets, and birds.
Learn the definition and examples of action and reaction forces, which are equal and opposite forces that act on different objects. See how to apply Newton's third law and answer questions about this concept.
Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The "action" and "reaction" refer to forces; if Object A exerts a force on Object B, then Object B exerts an equal amount of force on Object A in the opposite direction. Examples include pushing an object, stepping on the ground, and rockets.
There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
We sometimes refer to this law loosely as “action-reaction,” where the force exerted is the action and the force experienced as a consequence is the reaction. Newton’s third law has practical uses in analyzing the origin of forces and understanding which forces are external to a system.
Learn the definition, statement and examples of Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Explore the implications, applications and misinterpretations of this law in physics and everyday life.
