∙ 6y agoTraditional phrasing that is quoted often: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." A more accurate translation (though less literal) is that "For every force there is an equal and opposite force" The reason for the shift: Action and Reaction to most imply the resulting motion of an interaction. This is not what occurs. The forces felt between two objects is equal, but the resulting motion can be quite different if the objects have very different mass.
A couple of examples: You push against a wall with 300N of force, and the wall will exert 300N of force on you in return. You are not anchored, and have far less mass. You will accelerate away from the wall, but the wall will barely move (it will flex slightly).
The traditional phrasing of the law leads to confusion as people focus on the motion (your motion, and the walls near immobility) instead of the forces.
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that forces act in pairs. For every action force, there is a reaction force.
Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an opposite reaction.
If you push or pull an object , it will push or pull you to an equal extent. " To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

newtons third law of motion
How often does Newton's third law of motion happen?
Always. Evey object in the universe is experiencing Newtons third law. Just by sitting in your chair motionless you are experiencing Newtons third law.
Does newtons third law apply to soccer?
Newton's Third Law applies everywhere.
What three terms are represented in newtons second law of motions fma?
Force= Mass x Acceleration
What is newtons third law of motion called?
Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."
What are practical applications of newtons second law of motion?
Almost all machinery uses the 2nd Law. Also sports activity and firearms use the 2nd law. The 2nd Law runs the Universe, from the motions of tools to the motions of the galaxies.
Which of Newtons laws states that for every force there is an equal force in the opposite direction?
That's Newton's third law of motion. A link can be found below.
