Newton's Action-Reaction
A split-scene illustration showing two scenarios that explain Newton's Third Law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Left Side: Rocket Launch Scene A rocket is taking off into the sky with bright flames and smoke being ejected downward. Arrows indicate the action: "Thrust force downward (exhaust gases)" and the reaction: "Rocket pushed upward." Sky background with clouds for added realism. Right Side: Skater Pushing Another Skater Two people on skateboards are shown facing each other. One is pushing the other. The skater pushing shows an action force: "Push on the other skater." The second skater pushes back with an equal reaction force: "Push back on the first skater." Motion lines and arrows show both moving in opposite directions. General Design Elements: Include clear labels for “Action” and “Reaction.” Use contrasting colors for arrows to distinguish action vs reaction (e.g., red and blue). A title at the top: "Newton’s Third Law of Motion" Optional tagline at the bottom: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
