Question:

What are four examples of Newton’s Third Law of Motion? .

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

An example of Newton’s Third Law of Motion is canoeing. When a person uses a paddle to push the on the water, the water pushes back on the paddle. This force is a lift, meaning it is equal in magnitude to the object but acts in the opposite direction. When a girl jumps off the skateboard she applies a push force onto the skateboard. This causes the skateboard to move to the right. At the same time, the skateboard pushes back onto the skateboard. And this force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, and this causes the girl to move toward the left. When a rocket fires, the chemical reaction produced a downward push force on the hot exhaust gases. The hot exhaust gases exert an equal force on the rocket but act in the opposite direction, upwards. When a car is driving the wheel exerts a force in the reverse direction on the road. At the same time, the road exerts a force in the forward direction on the wheel. These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction
