Newton's Third Law of Motion by Professor Mac

Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's third law is one of three laws developed by Sir Isaac Newton and introduces the concept of action and reaction forces. Join me to learn the key to applying Newton's third law and how Newton's third law is used to launch a rocket

Newton's Third Law of Motion

You will learn about "Newton's Third law of motion" in this video. Newton's Third Law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When we sit on a chair, our body exerts a downward force on the chair. This force is called action. The chair also exerts an upward force on our body. This force is opposite to the downward force. This is known as reaction. If the chair would not have exerted a force, the chair would collapse and we would never be able to sit on a chair.

Do you know that Newton's Thirds law also helps birds to fly. When a bird is flying in the air, its wings exert a downward force on the air. Similarly, the air also exerts an equal and opposite force which pushes the bird upwards. This action- reaction combination helps birds to fly in the air.

Collisions: Crash Course Physics #10

COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and many other things dictate how collisions can be unique. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down to lead us through an understanding of collisions. Plus, she brings a long our old friend Sir Isaac Newton.

SCIENCE OF NFL FOOTBALL: NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION

In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt breaks down Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion and how energy transfers between football players who collide during a game. Professors Tony Schmitz of the University of Florida and Jim Gates of the University of Maryland explain why momentum can keep a player moving or stop them in their tracks.

NEWTON'S THREE LAWS OF MOTION

Whether they are sprinting down the ice, smashing into the boards or stopping on a dime, NHL players display an amazing mix of speed and strength. These athletic moves also provide great examples of Newton's Three Laws of Motion.

SCIENCE OF THE WINTER OLYMPICS: BLADE RUNNERS

The U.S. speed skating team has two best hopes against a powerful South Korean team that took three- of-a-possible-four golds in Torino: Apolo Ohno and J.R. Celski--an 18-year-old World Champion in his first Olympics. Speed skating is all about force and movement--what, in physics, are known as Newton's First Three Laws of Motion. Celski and physicist George Tuthill of Plymouth State University explain.

VideoBrief: Newton's Laws of Motion

A fun little video project done illustrating Isaac Newton's three laws of motion. The music is original as are the 3D animations and motion graphics. Let me know what you think about it. Does it effectively illustrate the concepts? I'd like to do more of these types of videos.

Newton Laws of Motion for Kids

A fun video for kids explaining Newton's all laws of motion.

The 1st law states that 'Things want to keep on doing what they are already doing. It means that if you kick a ball, it will keep moving unless it is stopped by some external force. At the same it states that if a thing is in resting position, it will always be in that position unless some external force is applied on it to make it change its position.This law is also known as the law of inertia.

The second law states that' Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.This simply implies that harder we kick a ball, farther it will go and vice-versa.

3rd law states that there is a action & reaction act in a pair. In simple terms it says that for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The Science of Disney Imagineering: Friction
Join Walt Disney Imagineer Asa Kalama on a ride into the world of imagination, inspiration and science -- the science of friction. Explore the Disney theme parks and learn how Disney Imagineers put friction to work as they design and build amazing attractions like Slush Gusher, the Richard Petty Driving Experience and Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show.

Bill Nye: Motion
Bill Nye the Science Guy explains that nothing can move or stop by itself, that everything needs a push or pull--a force--to make it move or stop. Sometimes an object might seem to be at rest, even when it is in motion. Confused? It's all relative. Relative motion, that is. This live-action, fast-paced program also features comedy, music videos, interviews with real scientists, and hands-on experiments to make the concepts presented understandable and fun.

Friction
In Friction, two young islanders, Olive and Troy, are delivering mail with a mammoth-drawn wagon when they learn how important the force of friction is as they attempt to slow down! Applying what they discover about friction, Olive and Troy test a variety of brakes, trying to find the type just right for them. Even with proper brakes, it does take some time to come to a stop, though. Young Troy and Olive find this out as they join their two delivery mammoths for an unscheduled bath after a foiled attempt to stop quickly! Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay.
