State Newton's third law of motion. Give two examples.
(N/A) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Examples are:
$(i)$ When we exert a force (action) on a wall by pushing it with the palm of our hand,we experience a force (reaction) exerted by the wall on our palm.
$(ii)$ When a bullet is fired from a gun,the recoil of the gun is the reaction produced by the bullet on the gun.
