Finally, we come to Newton's Third Law, also known as the "Law of Equal and Opposite Reactions". I'm sure you've heard it said before! What is commonly misunderstood is how those forces interact with what they act on, and more specifically, which object each force actually acts on!
Students will be able to:
State the action-reaction pairs that occur for every force interaction.
Draw FBDs (Free Body Diagrams) for a variety of different every-day scenarios.
Watch the two videos related to Newton's 3rd Law video below.
Fill in lesson 2.3 sheet with my lecture notes video below.
Complete the problem set for 2.3. Make sure to check your answers with the key, and hand it in after.
Dave's hammer example really "drives home" the idea of why objects still move if equal and opposite forces are present!
