Newton's third law
Science presenter Jon Chase explains Newton鈥檚 third law with the help of some skateboarders.
The skateboarders stand on separate boards and then one of them pushes away from the other one, causing them to both move. Newton鈥檚 second law is also referred to, as the demonstration is repeated with two people standing on one of the boards.
Jon defines Newton鈥檚 law as 鈥業f body A exerts a force on body B, then body B will exert an equal opposite force on body A.鈥�
