Question

How much force is exerted back on you when you hit a wall with a force of 250 n?

Answer 1

Answer: Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Wall exerts back with a force of 250 N.

Explanation:

Newton's laws of motion are responsible for defining and describing force.

• Newton's first law of motion gives the concept of inertia, second law of motion gives the concept of momentum and third law talks about action-reaction pair.

• According to the third law of motion,

"Every action of force has an equal and opposite reaction force".

Third law of motion gives an idea about direction of force.

• Force comes in pair of action and reaction.

• The force exerted back is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

• So, here even if there is no visible motion in the state of wall, it still exerts a force of 250 Newton back.
