[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Newton's Third Law of Motion - action and reaction forces and why they are not balanced forces.

Review the key concepts and skills for Newton's third law of motion, including how to identify action-reaction pairs.

An early astronaut's experiences teach students that Newton's third law of motion-for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction-applies both on Earth and in outer space.

In this physics lab (best done outside), students will explore Newton's Third Law - 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. Students will fill empty 35-mm film canisters with water and part of an Alka-Seltzer tablet,...

Through illustrated examples, and interactive practice problems, students examine Newton's Third Law of Motion.

This video describes Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the everyday motion of a bicycle. [3:33] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

Students are introduced to the concepts of force, inertia, and Newton's first law of motion: objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.This instructional activity is the...

In this elementary physics investigation, students explore Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: To every action there is an equal & opposite reaction. Pairs of students will line up 5 pennies, (touching each other), between 2 rulers. The row...

This article offers a description and real-life examples of Newton's Third Law. Practice questions are included to test your knowledge!

This lesson will show that when a force is exerted on an object, an equal and opposite force is produced, as stated in Newton's Third Law. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's Third Law."

Understand Newton's Third Law the law of action-reaction in this tutorial.

This lesson explains how Newton's third law of motion can help determine the acceleration of interacting objects. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Newton's Third Law of Motion & Acceleration."

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on Newton's third law of motion.

This lesson introduces the concept of Newton's third law of motion and explains how it is experienced.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand why for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

By the end of this section, you will be able to apply a problem-solving procedure to solve problems using Newton's laws of motion.

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate Newton's third law of motion - which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction - through a small wooden car. The Newton cars show how action/reaction works and how the mass...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about Newton's third law of motion, calculations in two dimensions, and the interaction of multiple objects in the context of a horse pulling a cart.

Making objects move around the computer screen and responding to a variety of environmental forces by understanding Newton's Laws of force and acceleration.

Young scholars build and launch match-stick rockets in order to experience Newton's Third Law of motion.

In this instructional activity, young scholars watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation. It...

For this lesson, young scholars explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. It involves an activity where they throw a medicine ball while seated on a wheeled cart with minimal friction between the cart and the floor. After completing the...
