As the thrower launches the ball, according to Newton's third law there must be a force pushing back on the thrower due to the ball. We can see this as the hovercraft accelerates and decelerates in this demonstration.

  • hi

    This looks great.

    What did you use to make the hovercraft or where did you buy it?

    This could at the right price make newtons laws so much more accessible.

    Thank you

  • @SMUPhysics can you buy these?! where did you get it from and how much?
