Newton's Third Law
The laws of motion consisted in three laws: the First law also called the law of inertia, the
second law that is “the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its
acceleration”, and the third one “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. We
are going to make an emphasis in the third law.
This law is in our everyday real life. For example, when you are walking this law is applied to
you because you push the street and the response or reaction to the force applied to the street
is that you move forward. By another way for illustration, jumping from a boat, when you jump
from a boat you make a force over the boat, this has two reactions first able you go to the land
and parallelly the boat moves backwards. To give you another idea, when jumping a
trampoline, you make a force over the trampoline and as reaction of this your body moves
forwards.
To summarize, Newton is one of the most important scientists and discovered the laws of
motion: law of inertia, the second and the third law. The law about this essay is the third law
that says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
