What is the magnitude of the third force?

Newton's third law and centripetal acceleration?

  • If Newton's third law states that "for every force acting upon a body, there is an equal force of the same magnitude acting in the opposite direction", then what is the equal force acting in the opposite direction of the centripetal force, of say, a car driving in a circle. I know that there is friction on the tyres, but.. help :/

  • Answer:

    that's different, not only is the car moving in a different direction but the magnitude changes dramatically because of the direction your going.

Reactive centrifugal force would be the equal and opposite force acting on the centripetal force. you can read more bout it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force
