From: Kumar on 16 Mar 2010 07:35 Hello, Newton's third law is frequently stated "Action and reaction are equal and opposite To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" Law is defined as; The term law is often used to refer to universal principles that describe the fundamental nature of something, to universal properties and relationships between things, or to descriptions that purport to explain these principles and relationships. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_(principle) I have some questions:- 1. Is it also true that "to every reaction there is equal and opposite action"? 2. Can we consider action or reaction as activities or motions and as law hold universal application, whether above action reaction relationship will apply to all our activities? Best wishes.

The neck you slit pushed back against your knife. Does that help you in some way? Science in general serves to describe determinism, but Newton's third is not what you are seeking. David A. Smith

It applies to forces. Almost nothing else.

Almost nothing else.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Thanks. Are activities not actions & reactions? I think there is a link between forces with actions, reactions and so with activities. |
