Question

THINKING ABOUT NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION

newton's third law of
motion can be seen in action in many places.on a separate pieces of paper ,describe how this concept explain the following eventes.

1.) A motorboat crosses a lake

2.)As a monkey jumps from a branch , the branch moves away from the monkey.

3.)In a game of billiard, one ball is shot forward. when it hits another ball, it stops and the other ball moves forward.

Answer 1

every action has an equal and opposite reaction

1.the boat goes forward-action
water goes backward-reaction

2.monkey jumps forward-action
branch goes bacward-reaction

3.one golfball goes forward-action
the one which hits goes stops-reaction

Answer 2

newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. For the first one since the boat moves it's going cross the lake. As the monkey catches the still branch the branch is gowing to move with the monkey. When you hit one ball one ball stops and the energy is transfered to the ball that was hit.

Answer 3

ok . . Newton's third law states that "for any action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" . . . so for #3, one ball is shot forward, when it hits the other ball, it stops but because of the collison, causes the other ball to shoot forward . . .

hope that helps . . try to figure out #1 and #2 on your own!!

Answer 4

This is a very simple question, really. Just think of things moving in opposite directions whent they exert force on each other.
