1 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton’s 3rd Law What would happen if the girl pushed the boy? The boy would move The girl would move For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Y11 ?

2 “If object A exerts a force / Action on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force Reaction on object A” Third Law: F AB = - F BA  An important point to remember. The two forces in an action-reaction force pair always act on two different objects. Therefore, the two forces can never cancel each other out. What happens (in terms of motion) to objects A & B depends on what other forces are acting! e.g. if you push the ball with a force of 10N, in terms of forces, what happens to you and to the ball?
