Week 9 Reflection



That week in physics we talked about the force pairs. "According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an egual (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force." Forces always come in pairs, they're know as "action-reaction force pairs."
Examples of action-reaction pairs:

1) "Walking- when we take a step we press our foot on the ground, pushing backwards. Because of friction we exert a backward on the ground. The reaction force is the equal and opposite."

2) The baseball pushes the glove leftward. Then the glove pushes the baseball rightward.

Later that week we talked about our assessments. I didn't do so well because I really didn't  understand the concept. But now that I looked this information up I sort of understand the concept. The thing about the assessments are that the questions are worded weird so that kinda threw me off. One thing I wish we went over more was the conversion. I still don't know how to convert kg to newons.
