Question
- you push back on the pavement and your skateboard goes forward - which of newtons 3 laws is this? 11. what is newtons 3rd law of motion? 12. a falling object accelerates until a force slows and stops its acceleration. what is this force called? 13. if you go from the earth to the moon which property changes - mass or weight? 14. what is the difference between mass and weight?

Step1: Analyze the situation
When you push back on the pavement (action force), the pavement pushes you (and your skateboard) forward (reaction force). This is in line with Newton's 3rd law.
Newton's 3rd law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When a falling object accelerates until a force slows and stops its acceleration, this force is air - resistance (or drag). As the object falls, the force of gravity pulls it down (\(F_g=mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity). As its speed increases, the air - resistance force (\(F_d\)) acting in the opposite direction (upwards) also increases. When \(F_d = F_g\), the net force \(F_{net}=F_g - F_d=0\), and the object stops accelerating (reaches terminal velocity).
