Newton third law is really self explanatory, however since you ask the question I will try and answer it for you. If you pushed against a wall with a force of say 2 kilos, then the wall would push in the apposite direction with the same amount of force. Even if the wall had a large mass much greater than yours the action and reaction would be the same. Going to the billiard ball example, when the cue ball strikes the other ball both will move off in equal but opposite directions. There can be a time when the cue ball will not move at all after it has struck the other ball. This happens when it hits the other ball dead center hard enough to transfers its energy to the other ball.

The sum of action A and re-action R is zero, A+ R=0. This is usually phrased as:

"for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

According to Newton's second law of motion when the net force on an object is greater than 0 how is its mass related to its acceleration?

According to newtons second law of motion when the net force on an object is greater than 0, F=m*a where a is the acceleration, m is the mass, and F is the force.


How are newtons and grams different?

Newtons are a measurement of force, whereas grams are a measurement of mass. They are related by the equation F = ma, where Force = mass x acceleration.

Are newtons weight?

Newtons are the force one object exerts on another. The weight you see on a bathroom scale is how much the scale pushes back, which equals the Newtonian force. However, mass and Newtons are different but related. Newtons is the gravitational pull multiplied by the mass. The basic equation is: (mass in grams)(9.8)=Force in Newtons 9.8 is the gravitational pull on every object on Earth.
