State Newton’s third law of motion.
To explain: Newton’s third law of motion
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newton’s laws of motion consist of three fundamental principles which deals with the motion of objects and the forces which act upon them. It also takes into account the reaction of objects towards the forces acting on them. Among these three laws, the third law considers the action-reaction feature of the forces on the objects.
Newton’s third law of motion states that, “Whenever a body exerts a force on another, there will be an exactly same force from the latter, in an opposing direction.”
It can also be explained as for every action by an object, there will be an equal and opposite reaction thereon.
