A blog covering and explaining the Edexcel IGCSE Physics specification for the 2016 summer exams. If you are doing just double science, you do not need to learn the stuff for paper two, if you are doing triple you will need to learn all (GOOD LUCK!) I have separated the papers to make files easier to find. Hope it helps :)

1.24 demonstrate an understanding of Newton’s third law
Newtons third law states that 'each force has an equal and opposite force'. one way in which this could be demonstrate is through ice skating. if you throw a snowball whilst you are on ice skates, you involuntarily go backwards a little. This is newtons third law in action. When you throw the snowball, you are exerting a force forward, at the same time an equal force is acting in the opposite direction, usually this force is hardly noticeable, if all. Since you are standing on ice that has very little friction, you will go backward.
