Question

Which of Newton's Laws gives the reason for why you can feel things that you touch?

• A. Third law
• B. None of the above
• C. Second law
• D. First law

Answer 1

The correct option is A Third law

The third law of Newton states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". This explains why we are able to feel things that we can touch. The action of touching requires exerting a force that has an equal and opposite reaction in the finger that we use to touch. This force is sent by receptors that send a message to the brain, which translates it into the sense of feeling.
