How is Newton’s third law of motion involved when you jump straight upward?
Bad White [126]
<span>Newtons 3rd law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. How it applies in this statement is that when you jump straight upward you hit the floor and you experience an equal magnitude of force against your feet, because force always acts as a result of two objects and whenever forces occur they do so in pairs of equal magnitude acting in opposite directions. I hope this helps!</span><span>
