Question
a seagull poops in the sky. the poops hits lee, applying a downward force onto lees head.
what is the force pair?

To determine the force pair, we use Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this scenario, the seagull's poop (let's call this object A) exerts a downward force on Lee's head (object B). According to Newton's Third Law, object B (Lee's head) must then exert an equal and opposite force on object A (the poop).
So, the force pair is: Lee's head applies an upward force on the poop (since the poop applied a downward force on Lee's head, the reaction force is upward and on the poop).
