TERM 8

Newton's Third Law of Motion

DEFINITION 8

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

TERM 9

Application of Newton's Third Law

DEFINITION 9

When a rocket take off, the rocket pushes down with the

force of its engines, and this causes the ground to push the

rocket upwards with an equal force.
