Give an example of an action/reaction pair using the recipe:
Action: ______(/1)
Reaction: ______(/1)
2.) When firing a bullet from a gun, the forces on the gun and on the bullet are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton’s Third Law. So why is the EFFECT on each object so different? ______(/1)
3.) Give an example of an object that uses Newton’s Third Law to move WITHOUT friction and explain how it works. ______
______(/2)
4.) If the horse pulls on the cart, the cart pulls on the horse with an equal and opposite reaction force. How will the horse and cart get to town? ______(/2)
