...perfectly true proposition that momentum in a givln direction is conserved. This is a corollary from Newton's Third Law of Motion, that action and reaction are equal and opposite. For, if any change took place in the momentum of a system resolved along any particular direction whatever,...

...bodies, we having no conception of an action of force on force. Again, on p. 8, as to the quotation from Newton's third law of motion that action and reaction " are equal and opposite," it has always seemed unfortunate to the present writer that the word " simultaneous " is not usually...

...so far as to be able to change the state of the atoms. The same conclusion is forced upon us by the third law of motion, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, since we recognise in action the advance of a reinforcement of corpuscles of one kind ; and in reaction...

The Earth's Beginning

Robert Stawell Ball - 1901 - 418 pages
...MOMENTUM ROUND ANY POINT IS CONSTANT. This important theorem is deduced from the fact stated in the third law of motion, that action and reaction are equal and opposite. Let us take any two particles ; then, the acceleration of the moment of momentum of one of them, A,...

...second ball, in turn, expands after the blow and squeezes the third, and so on. Hence, in virtue of Newton's Third Law of Motion, that "action and reaction are equal and opposite," it follows that the pressure produced by the blow of the first ball is handed on from ball to ball,...
