Question

Examples of Newton's third law

Definition Definition Fundamental law of forces which states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In other words, whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on the first body. It is also called the “action-reaction law” and was defined by Sir Isaac Newton.
