Description
This editable PowerPoint presentation introduces Newton's 3rd Law and gives example of action and reaction force pairs. Agent-Object notation is introduced and used to explain the surprising reason why Normal force and Weight are equal and opposite, but NOT an Action-Reaction pair. When you dive off of a cliff, you and the entire earth fall towards each other with equal and opposite forces! (But very unequal accelerations)
