The action (foot to ball) and reaction (ball to foot) forces are equal and opposite. The ball gains momentum and the foot loses momentum. The collision is elastic and the foot has more mass than the football, so the football departs with a velocity greater than the initial velocity of the foot.

What is the nickname of Newton's third law?

"Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction".


What is an example of why it is easy to miss an action reaction pair?

An example of why it is easy to miss an action-reaction pair is when one of the objects involved in the interaction is much more massive than the other. The reaction of the heavier object may cause a small and less noticeable effect on it compared to the action of the lighter object.


When do action and reaction forces cancel out each other?

Well in a single action-reaction pair, they cannot cancel out! The action and reaction forces act on different bodies. Lets say that we have a football. I kick it with 200 N of force. That is the action force, so the reaction force must be 200N(in the opposite direction) as well. The key here is that the reaction force did not act on the football, but on your foot! So the net force of the football is still 200 N in the direction I kicked it!Hope this helps some,-Sk Inventor


How do you describe the action-reaction forces of kicking a soccer ball?

Can you identify action-reaction pairs? Let's see... A soccer player kicks a ball. The action reaction pair for the kick is:


What is the action reaction pair involved when an apple falls to the ground?

The action is the apple exerting a force on the Earth due to gravity, causing it to accelerate downward. The reaction is the Earth exerting an equal and opposite force on the apple, preventing it from falling indefinitely.

How are football and Newton's third law related?

What are action and reaction according to newtons 3rd law when you hit a football?

When you hit a football, the ball moving forward is the action ( visible to naked eye ). However what is not visible to naked eye is the reaction which occurs on the person kicking the football. He too is pushed backwards. But as the mass of the footballer is m=way more than that of football, no visible reaction is seen. Concept used : conservation of momentum, newtons third law of motion


Is the action force always greater than the reaction force?

No, they are always the same. That is what Newton's third law states.

When was Action Reaction created?

Action Reaction was created in 1984.


Are reaction forces always created after the action force?

I suppose this in a way depends on perspective at hand.A reaction force is directly opposite of action force.If a ball hit another ball, they actually hit each other at the same time with the same force if they are of the same size and mass.If a ball hit a football player, then the football player equally hit the ball but in proportion to mass. This happen at the same time.Now for the tricky part.The action force could be considered to trigger a reaction force different to what it would normally be because it is observed. Would this not make reaction force before action force?Still probably not valid.As a reaction force is directly opposite of action force, it would not matter if the football player hits the ball hard or not so hard as a result of what he sees. Energy exchanged will be different, but always in proportion to mass.The football player would only be exchanging action and reaction force with other objects/players before hitting the football, making another exchange of energy.Claim:All exchange of energy happens at the same time for both objects in proportion to their mass no matter the circumstances.Newtons third law.

What action reaction forces are involved when catching a ball?

When catching a ball, the action force is the force applied by the ball on your hand. The reaction force is the equal and opposite force applied by your hand on the ball. These forces are part of Newton's Third Law of Motion.
