Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton's Third Law in Motion

Description

Newton's third law explains how forces come in pairs during motion. It says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In these examples, the two forces act on different systems, so they do not cancel each other out.

牛顿第三定律指出,每一个作用力都有一个大小相等、方向相反的反作用力。这可以 通过示例得以理解。

如果你用锤子敲击钉子,由于作用力的作用,钉子会更深地进入木头中。相应地,钉子产生的力会将锤子向后推。

设想一个人坐在躺椅上。重力作用于他身上。躺椅施加一个大小相等、方向相反的法向力,使他保持静止状态。

然而,这并不是一对 "作用力-反作用力",因为这两个力作用于同一个物体上。人施加在地球上的引力,才是地球对他施加拉力的反作用力配对。

此外,由于斜靠椅施加的法向力,该人也会对斜靠椅施加一个大小相等的力。因此,不仅接触力,非接触力(例如由重力引起的力)也同样遵循牛顿第三定律。
