Third law of motion MCQs For NEET

Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This statement means that for every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. When we jump, our legs exert a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force that propels us into the air.
