CONCEPT OF NEWTON’S 3rd LAW OF MOTION # SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES BEHIND SPORTS
Dear Children, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” For every force that is exerted by one body on another, there is an equal and opposite force exerted by the second body on the first. Newton’s 3rd law of motion literally controls everything around us, from rocket science to the motion of animals, to humans everyday life, to the point that it literally controls how sportsmen and sportswomen perform their athletic activities. Since Newton’s third law is an “action-reaction” law, it is a key law in different fields of Sports. It also works hand-in-hand with the conservation law of momentum.
