To understand Newton's 3rd law, which states that a physical interaction always generates a pair of forces on the two interacting bodies.
In Principia, Newton wrote:To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.
(translation by Cajori)
The phrase after the colon (often omitted from textbooks) makes it clear that this is a statement about the nature of force. The central idea is that physical interactions (e.g., due to gravity, bodies touching, or electric forces) cause forces to arise between pairs of bodies. Each pairwise interaction produces a pair of opposite forces, one acting on each body. In summary, each physical interaction between two bodies generates a pair of forces. Whatever the physical cause of the interaction, the force on body A from body B is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force on body B from body A.Incidentally, Newton states that…
Jimmy's heart accelerates 2.4 x 102kg of blood from 0.15 m/s to 0.32 m/s over an elapsed time of 0.12s
every time he sees Janine. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blood and use that value to
calculate the net force needed to cause that acceleration.
