Newton's third law of motion states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object
a. the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on a third object
b. the first object is unaffected by that force
c. the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object ✓
d. the second object exerts a less powerful force on the first object
❍ Option c is correct ✓
It states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction for action and reaction are equal and opposite..
From the word action we mean the initial force applied by the first body on the second body. From the word reaction with amine the force applied by the second body in response to the force of the first body.

The correct answer to the following question is (C), which is the object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
- According to Newton's third law, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- According to this law, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B will exert a force of equal magnitude but opposite in direction on object B.
- Therefore, the force always comes in pairs. One force which was acted on a body, and the second force will react to the source of force. Both forces are of equal magnitude but in opposite directions.
- For example, while walking the floor pushes up the foot while the foot pushes down and back. Both these forces are of equal magnitude but in a different direction.
