Question

Give a practical example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. Draw a free body diagram for your example.

Answer 1

Here is a wave function, does this apply?

Answer 2

Practical example would be noncommutative lie groups? And OAM?

Answer 3

I don't think that is the kind of example my teacher was talking about. Would this be an example? You push on a dresser with your arms, it pushes back on you at the same time so your body and feet move backwards (try this wearing socks on a wood paneled floor).
Another example:
Sit in a chair which has wheels on it and push on a table. As you push on the table you will notice your chair is moving backwards simultaneously.

Answer 4

I was focusing on the relative interaction, but yes I think that works.

Answer 5

Thank you!

Answer 6

Another could be a car crash. For one moment of force, there is an opposite (loss of momentum)

Answer 7

Oh okay that can work.
