Interaction of Forces
Forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and constitute a single interaction between two objects.
Newton's Third Law
States that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
Action Force
The force exerted by one object on another in an interaction.
Reaction Force
The force exerted by the second object back on the first object in response to the action force.
Force Pairs
Forces that occur in pairs, one being the action force and the other the reaction force, which are equal and opposite.
Resolution of Vectors
The process of breaking down a vector into two component vectors perpendicular to each other.
Components of a Vector
The two perpendicular vectors that replace the original vector when it is resolved.
Law of Action-Reaction
Newton's third law, emphasizing that forces always occur in pairs, with one being the action force and the other the reaction force.
