Faded Maximus said:Since they are equal and opposite though, would that imply that they are balanced forces?
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object will exert an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
One example of Newton's Third Law is a person pushing against a wall. The person exerts a force on the wall, and in turn, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the person. Both forces are equal in magnitude but act in opposite directions.
Yes, Newton's Third Law applies to all types of forces, including contact forces (like pushing or pulling) and non-contact forces (like gravity or magnetism). It is a fundamental principle of physics and applies to all interactions between objects.
Newton's Third Law explains why objects move in response to forces. When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite. This means that if one object experiences a force, the other object will experience a force in the opposite direction, causing both objects to move.
No, there are no exceptions to Newton's Third Law. It is a fundamental law of physics that has been observed and tested in countless experiments. However, it is important to note that the forces must be acting on different objects for the law to apply. If the forces are acting on the same object, they will cancel each other out and not result in motion.
