Newton's third Law

Philip Forbes

Newton's third law: For every action, there is a equal action and reaction,which means forces always act in pairs.

The third law has a lot to do with momentum. Momentum is what makes a object hard to stop, if big, or small. To calculate momentum, you multiply mass by velocity.

To shine some light on what this means, pretend two identical wheels are pushed together. Newton's third law states that upon contact, the wheels will move in the opposite direction, at the same speed they were moving upon contact.

Momentum Conversion happens when two things collide at different speeds
