Question

Give two examples from everyday life where the Newton's third law of motion comes into play?

Answer 1

Newton's third law of motion states that, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

This law can be observed anywhere and everywhere in the surroundings. Some examples of action-reaction pairs are mentioned below:

1. A swimmer pushes the water backwards with their hands, and in return, the water pushes the swimmer forwards, thus enabling him to go forward during swimming.
2. A man walking on the ground, While walking, a person pushes the ground in the backward direction, and the ground in return pushes the person in the forward direction, thus making them walk.
