To every action there is
always an opposed equal
reaction
We call one force the action
force and the other the reaction
force.
3
Simple Rule to Identify
Action Reaction
• Action: Object A exerts a force on
object B
• Reaction: Object B exerts a force on
object A
• Example: Man pushes on wall, wall
pushes back at man

• Cannon is fired Cannon exerts force
on ball (accelerates
ball - ball exerts
force on cannon (it
recoils)
• Rocket pushes on
ground ground ground pushes back

• Balloon exhaust
(air) pushes on
outside air
molecules - air
molecules push back
• Horse pushes on
ground - ground
pushes back
6
Action-Reaction act on
Different objects
• Action-Reaction forces do not cancel
out because they act on different
objects
• Two forces acting on the same object
can cancel out each other producing a
net force of zero
• ∑F=0
7
Tug of War Example
• Each team pulls and produces enough rope
tension to keep the rope from accelerating
(Equal and opposite forces)
• The winning team?
• The team that produces more force against
the ground, not the team that exerts the
greatest force on the rope, wins the Tug O’
War

Greatest Force against the
Ground WINS!

• The whirling blades
are shaped to push
air particles down
(action)
• The air forces the
blades up (reaction)
• This upward force is
called lift

Momentum and Collisions
•
•
•
•
Momentum = mass x velocity
P = m x v
Impulse = change in momentum
Or, change in m x v in a time interval
12
Increasing Momentum
• 1) Apply the greatest force you can
• 2) Extend the time of application of the
force
• Example: Long barreled cannons
• Long barrels produce higher velocities than short
ones as long as the force remains relatively large!
• Why? The force of the exploding gun powder acts
on the cannonball for a longer time
13
Decreasing Momentum
• Long time means less force, if force is able to
decrease
• Example: you are in a fast-moving car and the
brakes fail. Would you want to stop by hitting a
brick wall or hit a haystack and move until you
eventually come to rest?
• By hitting the haystack you extend the contact time
(time in which your momentum is brought to zero by
opposing forces)
• Force is reduced and you survive
• If force is constant or is able to increase over time
than - Long time less force is thrown out the
14
window.
Decreasing Momentum
• Short time means more force (inversely
related)
• Example: When boxing, if you move into the
punch you are in trouble. Move away and the
force is decreased, force is given chance to
decrease.
• Example: Breaking a stack of bricks. Would
you want a short quick blow or a long
extended blow? Remember: force increases
with more momentum, quicker blow, more
momentum, thus more force
15
Law of Conservation of
Momentum
• In the absence of an external force,
the momentum of a system remains
unchanged

Collisions
• Elastic - When objects collide without
being permanently deformed and
without generating heat
• Inelastic - Whenever colliding objects
become tangled or coupled together
• In a perfect inelastic collision both objects
stick together.
