what is newton's third law of motion explain with two examples

The Newton's third law of motion describes that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
eg.-
When we walk- we apply the action force on the ground in the backward direction. the ground offers us the reaction force in the forward direction. Thus we are able to walk.
while swimming- we push the water in the backward direction by our hands, the water thus pushes us in the forward direction and hence we are able to swim.

  1. As you sit in your chair, your body acts on the chair with one force, and the chair reacts on your body with yet another force. This is an example of Newton's third law in action. Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
