Solution

Newton's Third Law:

  1. It states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  2. When opposing forces come into contact, the result is motion in a different direction.
  3. When a gun is fired, the action force pulls the bullet outside the gun, while the reaction force pushes the gun backward.
  4. When a ball strikes the ground, it exerts an action force on the ground. The ball bounces back as a result of the ground's reaction force.
