Section 10-4 Newton’s Third Law Newton’s Third Law • When an object exerts a force on another object the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction – For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction Action – Reaction Pairs • Baseball – Ball hits the bat = action force – Bat pushes back on ball = reaction force – The bat makes the ball fly • They don’t cancel each other out because each force is exerted on different objects • Two People Opening a Door – One person pushes to the right – action force – Another pushes door to left – action force – Door pushes back in each direction equally • The door doesn’t move because all forces cancel out Momentum • Called the “quantity of motion” – Depends on the objects velocity and mass – Momentum = mass x velocity • Conservation of Momentum – The momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on it.
