How do bumper cars at an amusement park demonstrate newtons third law
1 answer
Bumper cars at an amusement park demonstrate Newton's third law of motion by exhibiting equal and opposite reactions. When one bumper car hits another, the force of the collision causes both cars to experience an equal and opposite force. This is demonstrated by the fact that the car that was hit moves in the opposite direction of the force applied, and the car that did the hitting also moves in the opposite direction of the force applied. The action-reaction forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This shows that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
