Read each question carefully and provide your answer in the space provided. For multiple-choice questions, circle the best option. For true/false, circle T or F. For fill-in-the-blanks, complete the statement with the correct term.
1. Which of Newton's laws states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?
First Law
Second Law
Third Law
Law of Gravity
2. When a rocket takes off, the exhaust gases push downwards, and the rocket moves upwards. This is an example of:
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
Law of Conservation of Energy
1. Action and reaction forces always act on the same object.
True
False
2. The forces in an action-reaction pair are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
True
False
1. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an and reaction.
2. When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force that is in magnitude and in direction.
1. Describe an action-reaction pair when a person walks on the ground.
2. Explain why a swimmer pushes water backward to move forward.
Consider the image of Newton's Cradle below. Explain how Newton's Third Law of Motion is demonstrated when one ball strikes the others.
