Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion 

This is a sketch of Jared on his skateboard. He’s on his way to Newton’s

Skate Park. When he pushes his foot against the ground, what happens
next? He moves on his skateboard in the opposite direction. How does
this happen?

Action and Reaction

Newton’s third law of motion​ explains how Jared starts his skateboard moving. This law
states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always act
in pairs. First an action occurs—Jared pushes against the ground with his foot. Then a reaction
occurs—Jared moves forward on his skateboard. The reaction is always equal in strength to the
action but in the opposite direction.

Q​: If Jared pushes against the ground with greater force, how will this affect his forward motion?

A​: His action force will be greater, so the reaction force will be greater as well. Jared will be
pushed forward with more force, and this will make him go faster and farther.

Equal and Opposite Forces

The forces involved in actions and reactions can be represented with arrows. The way an arrow
points shows the direction of the force, and the size of the arrow represents the strength of the
force. Look at the skateboarders in the ​Figure​ ​below​. In the top row, the arrows represent the
forces with which the skateboarders push against each other. This is the action. In the bottom
row, the arrows represent the forces with which the skateboarders move apart. This is the
reaction. Compare the top and bottom arrows. They point in different directions, but they are the
same size. This shows that the reaction forces are equal and opposite to the action forces.
Equal and Opposite but Not Balanced

Because action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, you might think they would cancel
out, as balanced forces do. But you would be wrong.
Balanced forces are equal and opposite forces that act on
the same object. That’s why they cancel out.

Action-reaction forces are equal and opposite forces that

act on different objects, so they don’t cancel out. In fact,
they often result in motion. Think about Jared again. He
applies force with his foot to the ground, whereas the
ground applies force to Jared and the skateboard, causing
them to move forward.

Q​: Actions and reactions occur all the time. Can you think of an example in your daily life?

A​: Here’s one example. If you lean on something like a wall or your locker, you are applying
force to it. The wall or locker applies an equal and opposite force to you. If it didn’t, you would go
right through it or else it would tip over.
