Newtons Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
This means that anything that is object A pushes against object B they will both feel the same force.
To understand this, a few examples:
- Imagine you are leaning against the wall with your hand. Your hand feels a force and the wall feels the same force.
- But what if you punch your hand through a wall? The wall and you still feel the same force but your hand is harder so does not break but the wall does.
- For the third, imagine if you are an ice skater. You have a partner (who has a smaller mass than you) and you push off of each other. Your partner travels further. This is because of a = f / m. If the mass is greater is means that the acceleration will be less.
