   Newton's Third Law and Inertia   
   05 Apr 25 20:31:24   
   
   From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com   
      
   Newton's third law says that if body A exerts a force on body B, body B   
   reacts with an equal and opposite force against body A.   
      
   Newton, speaking of inertia, says: "A body exerts this force [inertia]   
   only, when another force, impressed upon it, endeavors to change its   
   condition".   
      
   It seems that he is talking about exactly the same forces.   
      
   If not, what differences are there between the two?
