friction that builds up before the sliding takes place
2. AIR FRICTION: acts on an
object that is falling.
Example:
The use of parachutes:
When air friction is greater than the

LAW OF ACCELERATION
States that the acceleration of an

force but inversely proportional to its
mass

Newton’s Third Law Of
Motion
‘ THE LAW OF ACTION
AND REACTION
Action - Reaction
• Newton’s first two laws of motion explain
how the motion of a single object changes.
• Newton’s third law describes something
else that happens when one object exerts a
force on another object.
• According to Newton’s third law of
motion, forces always act in equal but
opposite pairs.
Action - Reaction
• The forces exerted by two objects on
each other are often called an action-
reaction force pair.
• Either force can be considered the
action force or the reaction force.
• Action and reaction force pairs don’t
cancel because they act on different
Action - Reaction
• Newton’s Third Law of Motion
states: for every action, there is
an equal but opposite reaction.
• This means that when you push on
a wall, the wall pushes back on
you with a force equal in strength
to the force you exerted
Action - Reaction
• You constantly use
action-reaction force
pairs as you move
about.
• When you jump, you
push down on the
ground.
• The ground then pushes
up on you. It is this
Action - Reaction
• When the rocket fuel
is ignited, a hot gas is
produced.
• As the gas molecules
collide with the inside
engine walls, the walls
exert a force that
pushes them out of the
bottom of the engine.
Action - Reaction
• This downward push is the action force.
