Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action (force), there is an equal and oppositereaction. Action-reaction paired forces can affect objects in direct contact (contact forces) orobjects not touching each other (action-at-a-distance forces).
Draw a diagram for the following scenarios in questions 1–3. Label the action and reaction forcesand the directions in which the two forces are traveling.
Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action (force), there is an equal and opposite
reaction. Action-reaction paired forces can affect objects in direct contact (contact forces) or
objects not touching each other (action-at-a-distance forces).
Draw a diagram for the following scenarios in questions 1–3. Label the action and reaction forces
and the directions in which the two forces are traveling.
Use the following information to answer questions the following questions.
In a crash test, cars hit a wall with varying amounts of force. The action and reaction forces are recorded in the table below.

Create a graph relating the action force and the reaction force.
Please enter a title in the space provided and provide a legend for the graph.
Label the x-axis to represent the action force and label the y-axis to represent the reaction force.
Provide units of measurement for the x-axis and for the y-axis.
