Newton's Third Law of Motion (no examples)

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.
