Describe the real-world examples of newton's third law that were identified in "applications of newton's laws."

when gases escape downward out the tail of a rocket, they push upward on the rocket. when layers of the earth collide, they force the earth upward, forming mountains.

When gases escape downward out the tail of a rocket, they push upward on the rocket.

Explanation:

Newton's third states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Examples

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
