Introduction to Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Learn about Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Several examples of Newton’s Third Law Force Pairs are demonstrated and discussed. We even travel to Dandong, China.

Many thanks to Kevin Zhang, my Flipping Physics Correspondent in China and to Ari Morris for letting me use a video of my kids at The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum from 2007.

I really love your videos. The fact that there are students in your classroom make it more interesting to see that the other videos. I love your uniqueness.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Many thanks to Kevin Zhang, today's Flipping Physics Correspondent in China and to Ari Morris for letting me use a video of my kids at The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum from 2007.  That’s right, this video spans the globe, from my driveway to China! #PhysicsED #flipclass #aahom

[shashijayasuriya]

The effort you put to make these videos clearly pays off. Excellent work

[memo]

The last three minutes were GOLDEN. Especially the part where you explain how we know a force is applied and that they happen simultaneously. It was really hard for me to believe there's a force applied during a collision. Thanks a ton!

[RogueIntel]

Finally i finished all Flipping Physics video made till date...thank you

[annylin]

For a second it seemed like the action was Ryan putting the ball in his mouth and then Geneve reacting haha

[cassieknight]

An acceleration that slows the hammer, or your colleague when he contacts the Great Wall, is NOT a deceleration. Thank you for reinforcing that concept.

[wampastompastomp]

OMG that hammer example just made my head explode! Now I get it! To see if force is applied on an object, you see if acceleration happens!

Mr. P, I will say that was a very good video. It is direct and cleared up my privious thoughts of the thrid law. Also, I hope you get the time to read my comments. I think it will be very interesting for you to see. I am watching through your AP 1 playlist to pass my college class. Having this play list is allowing my to pass physics even though COVID effected all of us, for me it is preventing me for being in a class room. Just know even in 2021 you'r videos are still helping students. Thanks again.

nice replica of a teacher, well done, genuinly got from my brain

[dennistheshow]

That's flippin' cool! Geehee!

[CandyAppleUT]

Your videos are so helpful! first time taking college physics its great

[joshuaflores]

I love your Videos! I hope you are my professor. P.S. from another side of the planet!

[spartenx]

At first, I couldn't explained Newton's third law of motion. After watch this video, I can explain Newton's third law of Motion. Thank you very

[poojarawat]

So interesting and hilarious at the same time.Great job guys!Keep doing more videos!

[pseudorealityisreal]

Wow! I have been over 30 years on this planet. Today I realised the source of confusion of the 3rd Law was due to that confusing and unclear definition, which was drilled into my head in school.

@Flipping Physics Thank you. I hope you continue creating videos that dispells basic misconceptions like these.

It is also sad that your channel wasn't recommended earlier. I guess after the alogirthm change you might get more viewers. Your channel certainly deserves more views and subscribers.

Physics with mr p always make my day
Lot's of love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[rithvikyagnamurthy]

Nice to know the laws of physics don’t break down in China!

[PeterPete]

The arrows depicting the forces ought to meet because Newton's Thrid law relates to contact!!

[telugucompetativeadda]

why wooden block allowing the nail. according newton third law it must not. if it alliwing means no equal reaction?
