Today……today was a brilliant day in the labs of Manheim Township. The laws of pure untainted scientific factors of life unfolded before the eyes of the students. The world, now unveiled, begins to enlighten and teach the students. The professor of the lab, the one and only, Mr.Manning finally decided that his fourth period class was ready for a great scientific breakthrough. Mr.Manning released his knowledge of Newton’s third law to the students, one of the many laws that hold the very earth together as we know it. Know, at this moment, we let loose our knowledge of this subject upon you. Can you handle the truth? The lesson is as follows: Newton’s third law states that all forces arise from the interaction of particles, and when one particle exerts a force on a second particle there is and always will be an equal and opposite reaction force by the second particle on the first. However the great law doesn’t end there. The quest continues!!! The second part of the third law is known as the Newtonian pair. This states that two forces acting in opposite direction are acting on two different objects. Now don’t confuse this with the concept of balanced forces because a balanced force is when two or more forces are acting upon one and only one object. The ideas are similar yet totally different. Agreed? Good, now let’s move on. Perhaps an example will prove beneficial. Ex) The example shows the obvious difference between the Newtonian pair and the balanced forces. The balanced force uses different actions between the objects on the table whereas the Newtonian pair shows the direct relations between the two objects.
