Question

Pay attention to what happens to the things around you as you go about

your day. Describe three examples of Newton's third law in action (use
different ones from those described in the lesson). In your examples
describe the action and the equal and opposite reaction.

Answer 1

Examples of Newton's third law of motion are ubiquitous in everyday life. For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices. Two other examples are: As a professor paces in front of a whiteboard, he exerts a force backward on the floor. A car accelerates forward because the ground pushes forward on the drive wheels, in reaction to the drive wheels pushing backward on the ground.
