Answer: Newton's third law
Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
Explanation:
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and
Work = (force) x (distance).
So energy is (unit of force) x (unit of distance)
[Energy] = (Newton) (meter) .
'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
(kilogram-meter/sec²) (meter)
= kilogram-meter² / sec² .
That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
Joule .
It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.
And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
Since momentum is a vector quantity, take any direction as positive and other as negative. Answer won't change.
