Newton’s Third LawNewton’s Third Law of MotionNetwon’s third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is a simple way of saying that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object responds with a force in the opposite direction. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.© Copyright NewPath Learning.

The reaction is the movement of the rocket lifting off in the opposite direction. In order for a rocket to lift off from the launch pad, the action from the engine must be greater than the weight of the rocket.When a baseball comes in contact with a bat, they move from opposite directions. The ball exerts force on the bat, the bat exerts an equal but opposite force on the ball.When a horse jumps, it pushes off from the ground; this is an action force. The ground pushes back with an equal force; this is the reaction.When air is released from a ballon, the balloon is pushed in the opposite direction. force on batforce on ballNetwon’s third law states that for every action, there is an equal and oppossssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeee reaction.
