A brick hits a glass window. The brick breaks the glass, so:
is the magnitude of the force of the brick, greater, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the force of the window?
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction.
With this law I think I should say the magnitude is equal, but then again my gut tells me that the law is talking about the net force and this specific question is dealing with this once force itself, so I want to say the magnitude of the force of the brick is greater. What do you think?
