Suggesting that if the mass of the object remains constant then acceleration id equal to the size of the force causing it. This means that assuming the action force remains constant the lighter the object the faster the acceleration. Newton’s Third Law- Action and 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. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In every interaction there is a pair of forces acting. Size of the force on the first object is equal to the size of the force second object. The direction of the force on the first object is in the opposite direction to the force of the second object. Example: the golf club receives an equal and opposite force from the golf ball to that which is imparted onto the golf ball by the golf club. Top Tip! In the exam you will not be required to define Newton’s laws but to apply them to a specific scenario. Apply Newton’s Laws of Motion to the following sporting situations: High jumper at take off Footballer taking a penalty High diver preforming a dive The role of force in sporting activity We need forces to be able to jump, kick and throw in sport.
