So you can tweak the positional difference between the placeholder text and value simply by tweaking the padding or line-height using that pseudo-element selector: input[type=text] { padding:4px; } input[type=text]::-webkit-input-placeholder { padding-top:5px; } Or whatever.
Identifying and describing action-reaction force pairs is a simple matter of identifying the two interacting objects and making two statements describing who is pushing on whom and in what direction. For example, consider the interaction between a baseball bat and a baseball.
When something is exerting force on the ground, the ground will push back with equal force in the opposite direction. In certain fields of applied physics, such as biomechanics, this force by the ground is called 'ground reaction force'; the force by the object on the ground is viewed as the 'action'. When someone wants to jump, he or she exerts additional downward force on the ground ('action').
