I. Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

 state Newton’s third law of motion and give examples that illustrate that law;
 compare two interacting forces in terms of magnitude and direction;
 apply Newton’s third law of motion to various situations.

I. Subject Matter:

Lesson: Newton’s Third Law of Motion ( Law of Action - Reaction)

References: Grade 8 LM, TG, Science book
Materials: Visual aids, Activity Sheet

II. Lesson Development:

 Review the previous lesson about the first and second law of motion.
 The teacher will ask the students about the third law of motion. the teacher will ask the students to do some
demo.
 Push on wall
 Push on wall with cart

A. ACTIVITY

 The students will perform …

Activity 5 Action – Reaction

B. ANALYSIS

1. How do you compare two interacting forces in terms of magnitude and direction?
 The two interacting forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

C. ABSTRACTION

In the simplest sense, a force is a push or a pull. However, Newton realized that a force is not a thing in
itself but part of mutual action, an interaction, between one thing and another.
For example, consider the interaction between a hammer and a nail. A hammer exerts a force on the nail
and drives it into a board. But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on the
hammer to stop it in the process. What exerts this force? The nail does. Newton reasoned that while the hammer
exerts a force on the nail, the nail exerts a force on the hammer. So, in the interaction between the hammer and the
nail, there is a pair of forces, one acting on the nail and the other acting on the hammer. Such observations led
Newton to his third law: the law of interaction.
Third Law of Motion or Law of Interaction (Action – Reaction) states that:
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
The difference between the forces related to Law of Interaction and forces in a balanced state are as follows:

Action-Reaction Forces Balanced Forces

 Two forces are equal in size.
 Two forces are opposite to each other in terms of
direction.
 Two forces have the same line of action.
 Action acts on one object, while reaction acts on
another object.
 Two forces are equal in size.
 Two forces are opposite to each other in terms of
direction.
 Two forces act along the same line.
 Two forces act upon the same object.

D. APPLICATION
The action and reaction forces are reciprocal (opposite) on an object.
Examples may include:
A swimmer swimming forward:
  The swimmer pushes against the water (action force), the water pushes back on the swimmer (reaction
force) and pushes her forward.
A ball is thrown against a wall:
 The ball puts a force on the wall (action force), and the wall puts a force on the ball (reaction force) so the
ball bounces off.
A person is diving off a raft:
 The person puts a force on the raft (action force) pushing it, and the raft puts a force on the diver (reaction
force) pushing them in the opposite direction.
 A person pushes against a wall (action force), and the wall exerts an equal and opposite force against the
person (reaction force).
 The Space Shuttle engines push out hot gases (action force), and the hot gases put a force on the shuttle
engines (reaction force) so the shuttle lifts (there is no sling shot doing it!)

E. EVALUATION

Multiple Choice. Choose the letter of your answer.

1. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

a. True
b. False
2. According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in
direction) reaction force. Forces always come in pairs - known as "action-reaction force pairs."
a. True
b. False
3. According to Newton's third law, the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
a. True
b. False
4. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
a. True
b. False

5. Describe the other force in the action-reaction force pair.

a. The glove pushes the baseball rightward.
b. The glove pushes the baseball upward.
c. The glove pushes the baseball downward.
d. None of the above.

6. Describe the other force in the action-reaction force pair.

a. Pin pushes bowling ball rightward.
b. Pin pushes bowling ball upward.
c. Pin pushes bowling ball downward.
d. None of the above.

7. Describe the other force in the action-reaction force pair.

a. Balloon wall pushes enclosed air particles inwards.
b. Balloon wall pushes enclosed air particles outwards.
c. Balloon wall pushes enclosed air particles upwards.
d. None of the above.
