January 5^th & 6^th

Question of the Day:

Identify the action force and the corresponding reaction force for each event:

	A fish swims through the water
	A rocket accelerates in outer space

If a soccer ball pushes back on your foot with as much force as your foot pushes the ball, how can the soccer ball go anywhere?
