my question is as follows.
when an object x exerts a force on object y, then object y exert a force of the SAME TYPE that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on object x
Explain what is meant by of the same type in this statement?
Ok, I have a general question about centrifugal force.
Lets say I have an object who moves in a circular path, we know the object is accelerating because the velocity is constantly changing direction, the acceleration is towards the center.
Now, where does the centrifugal force comes to...
Newton's third law states when two bodies interact they exert equal but opposite forces on each other. Now we apply this concept to gravitational attraction between, say, the Sun and the Earth. Sun exerts a gravitational force on Earth, and thus Earth also exerts a gravitaional force on the Sun...
