Re: [Phys-L] force-pair question



In teaching motivation for the third law I have found unfailing success in "Socratically" uncovering a scenario like ==>
"Suppose I had an object A which repelled another object B, without object A experiencing any force. I could then fasten them in-line on the floor of my little red wagon and magically achieve effortless and free self-locomotion."
