There are 4 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Newton's Third Law of Motion. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Newton's Third Law of Motion and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Newton's Third Law of Motion. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
- What are action and reaction?
- What does Newton's Third Law of Motion says?
- Why two forces that are involved in an action-reaction process do not cancel each other?
- What is the condition that two forces obey the action-reaction principle?
- What are some examples of action-reaction principle?
- Why not all forces do appear in a force diagram?
Introduction
When we punch a wall, our hand gets hurt. Why do you think this occurs?
Why we don't experience the same effect when we push gently an object with a finger? Try to explain.
