Define the Third Law of motion?
Answers
Explanation:
Fairman - August 1996. The third law of motion states that if a body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the first force. So for every action force there is always a reaction force.
Answer:
➡️The third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This can be observed both in objects at rest and those that are accelerating.
➡️ For example, a resting box pushes down on the ground due to a gravitational force.
➡️If Newton's 3rd law did not exist, then we would have no way to predict what the reaction force would be or even if there was one.
➡️It asserts that "If body A exerts a force on body B, then B exerts a force of equal size and opposite direction on A." It can be written: FAB = – FBA.
