That's what the law is all about. If an object "A" exerts a force on an object "B", then there will be an opposite force, from "B" to "A". The two forces can be considered a pair of forces.

The term "pairs" does not describe the idea of Equal and Opposite or Reaction. Twins are pairs. The words "Action and Reaction" is more descriptive.

Because that's what it is all about. If object "A" pulls on object "B", then "B" will pull back on "A".

Because you CAN'T push against any object that doesn't push back.

Because there comes two forces one is action and the other is reaction.

What forces always act in equal but opposite pairs?

Sort of; it's true as stated, but remember that any measured force may be the resultant of two or more initial forces. But the end result is identical to two equal & opposing forces.


Can you keep your body perfectly still if you wave your hand?

I believe not. It all has to do with newtons 3rd law. that if you have one force going one way, there is another opposite (but with same force... tho mass will affect acceleration)


How do you explain newtons third law in your own words?

newtons 3rd law states that if object A exerts a force on object B then, object Bwill exert the same amount of force on object A( newtons 3rd law of motion states that for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction )


What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.


Is jumping on a trampoline an example of newtons third law of motion?

yes. newtons 3rd law is: "FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION"

Do force act in pairs?

Yes Forces always act in pairs and never alone!!!!!!Newtons 3rd law clearly states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reactin!!!!


Which are simultaneous equal but opposite forces resulting from the interaction of two objects?

the object will not move at all and sum of those two force is zero....betwen them there is an applied force and reaction force....that is an 3rd newtons law..


If a karate chop delivers a blow of 4000N to a board that breaks what is the force that acts upon the hand?

4000 Newtons Newtons 3rd Law- every force applied has an egual and opposite reaction force so 4000n to the board=4000n force to the hand


Why did newton conclude that some force had to pull the moon toward the earth?

Because of Newtons 3rd Law


What keeps an object in motion?

newtons 3rd law object in motion remains in motion until force is acted upon Enertia.

Do forces always occur in pairs?

If you agree that Sir Isaac Newton generally knew what he was talking about, you can take the simple answer from his work. Newton's so-called 3rd law of motion says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That pretty much rules out the possibility of a single isolated force.


How much is 50 newtons worth of force?

This is newtons third law in action, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push on a wall with 50 newtons of force, the wall will not move, and it will have no acceleration. To make the sum of the forces zero, the wall must push back on you with the same 50 newton force. This is implying that you do not push on the wall hard enough to were it breaks. If it does this it means you are overcoming the force that the wall can push back.


How does egg drop project apply to newtons 3rd law?

the second law of motion states the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. acceleration= force/mass


There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion
