Solution

The correct option is A True

Q. As we know that Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. so, when we walk on the ground then we exert a force on the ground and ground exert frictional force on work feet and both forces are equal and opposite .so ,why we move forward?

Q. why dont we move upwards when we jump and hit the ground as when me hit the ground it exerts an equal and opposite force on us

Q. When we walk on the ground we exert a backward force which pushes us forward, in that case which force is considered to be positive

As Newton's third law says, we can stand on ground because we apply a force on ground because of our weight, and the ground resists. We cannot stand on water because water cannot resist the force applied by our weight. But we can swim on water because we push the water backwards, and water resists and pushes us forward. How can water resist us while swimming but not while standing on the water surface?

Q. When you walk or run you push your foot ________(forwards, backwards).
