Question

Give any two examples to explain Newton's third law.

✓

Answer

Newton's third law : "Action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction but theseforces act on different objects." When an object applies force to another object it is called action. The force that second object exerts on the first object is called reaction force.
For example: (i) When a swimmer performs an action by pushing water backwards with his hands, the pushed water pushes the swimmer forward with the same reaction.
(ii) The action by which the person rowing the boat pushes the water back is equal to reaction that the water provides to the boat to move forward. Many other incidences of daily life can also be understood on basis of Newton's third law of motion.
