Newton's Third Law

This video helped explain Newton's Third Law by providing examples in Football. The physicist narrates two football players in mid-tackle. Right away, we can observe that the one with more mass was able to take down the one with much less mass. I struggled with this concept in class initially. The video emphasizes that although he might be stronger, the push and force have no influence on the outcome. Overall, the video helped me to understand this tricky concept. For more information on Newton's Third Law, watch the video!

  2. Haha, I loved this video! Even though is was so cheesy, it really explained Newton's third law, not only with the scales which I had seen in class, but with the football players. Your in depth explanations after the video also helped with better understanding this concept. Thanks Katie!
