According to Newton's third law...

 

For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.



What does this mean?

This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.



Let's study how a rocket works to understand
Newton's Third Law.

The rocket's action is to push down on the ground with the force of its powerful engines, and the reaction is that the ground pushes the rocket upwards with an equal force.



UP,
UP,
and
AWAY!

Hi all,

@ Harshit, Simran, Good effort. Keep it up. Thumbs up from experts!
@ Pranavgta, hope you got the answer.
@ Olivea, good to see you tried. You have provided the right explanation of third law of motion but Pranavgta has asked the third equation of motion.

Have a nice day!
