Question

How is Newton’s third law of motion involved when you jump straight upward?

Answer 1

Newtons 3rd law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. It applies in this statement is that when you jump straight upward you hit the floor and then you experience an equal magnitude of force against your feet,because force always acts as a result of 2 objects and whenever forces occur they do so in pairs of equal magnitude acting in opposite directions.
