Hi Reginald,
Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Here, action refers to a force. So if an object A exerts a force on object B then object B also exerts an equal but opposite force on object A.
A real life example is when someone throws a ball, they exert a force on the ball and therefore the ball also exerts a force on the person which is equal in size but opposite in direction. So the person also moves back a little . This can be seen clearly if the person is standing on an almost frictionless surface so they can’t stop their movement, for example on ice

If an object A exerts a force on another object B, Object B will exert the same force on object A but in the opposite direction to the direction of force exerted by object A

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
For example if I push a box with a force of 30 Newtons to the left but it doesn't move, then the box must be pushing back the the same (equal) 30 Newtons of force to the right (opposite).

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from interactions. To put this into perspective, a book lying on a desk has the action of resting on the desk, whereas the opposite and equal reaction is the surface of the desk ensuring the book is staying on it.

Imagine throwing a ball at wall, the wall will throw a ball back to you.
Action and Reaction are equal and opposite or to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

The 3rd law of Newton states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction.

Newton's Third Law of Motion states:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
This law means that if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B simultaneously exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction back on object A. The forces always occur in pairs, and they act on different objects. This law is fundamental to understanding the interactions between objects and plays a crucial role in explaining how objects move and interact in the universe.

In simple terms, Newton's Third law states that for every action, there will be an equal and opposite reaction. So whenever two forces interact, they will exert equal and opposite forces to each other. So if you exert a force to push the wall, even if the wall is not moving, it exerts an equal and opposite force to your force to stay in place.

Hi Reginald,
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every force there is an equal and opposite and force in nature.
This means that if there are to objects, object A and object B, and object A exerts a force of 60N on the right onto object B, then object B must exert an equal force of 60N in the opposite direction.
