Most of the activities done on earth involve movement. Nardo and Schultz, (2008) explain that the movement observed, is as a result of forces. Sir Isaac Newton came up with laws that describe what the various motions and forces obey. The Third Newton's law of motion is among the three laws of motion formulated, and it states that for every reaction force, there exists an opposite and equal force that acts in the different direction (Croce, 2005). This essay discusses the two-dimensional motion and forces observed from the Honda – cog video in "The Making of Honda Cog," (2018) among the Rube Goldberg resources. It then explains how the identified motion and forces relate to Newton's third law of motion.
The Honda- cog in "The Making of Honda Cog," (2018), exhibit a series of items that are set in motion by interacting with each other. The first item on the video is a transmission bearing which roles and sets a synchro-hub in motion. The cascade of setting the stationary objects in motion involves both electrical and mechanical energy that is transmitted along the series of car parts until a vehicle balanced by an open trunk is set in motion by closing its trunk. One of the notable motions is the one exhibited after powering up of the electric fan using the twelve volts battery. After three attempts of switching on the electrical cooling fan, it moves to break its code loose from the cylinder block. The moving electrical fan moves and hits the ABS brake modulator module consequently setting the rear silencer box in motion.

Through the application of electrical energy to the motor of the cooling fan, the magnetic force is induced in the motor rotor windings. As a result, its interaction with the magnetic field from the permanent magnet in the stator of the motor produces a mechanical rotational motion. The motion is as a result of the continuous repulsion and attraction of the alternating north and south poles on the rotor (Hughes & Drury, 2013). The circular motion rotates the blades of the electrical cooling fan pushing air toward the cylinder block. Following Newton's third law of motion air also exerts an equal and opposite force to the cooling fan, away from the cylinder block. The force exerted by the cooling fan to the air is the action force while the force exerted by the air to the blades of the cooling fan is the reaction force. In the long run, the fan breaks away from the Block, moves and hits the ABS break modulator module ("The Making of Honda Cog," 2018).
From the discussion, it is observed that several items observed in the Honda-cod video exhibit motion. Among the many items, the cooling fan's motion easily explains the third Newton's law of motion. Through its powering up by the 12V battery, it moves by pushing air towards the cylinder block which is the action force and the air exerting a reaction force away from the cylinder block.
