Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

By: Carson Ritch

ACTION FORCE: Sky divers push down on air
REACTION FORCE: Air pushes up on sky divers

 

If you’ve ever wondered why it is so hard to push a car or a wall, then you must not be familiar with Newton’s Third Law. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. This applies to every interaction we see.
