Question

⦁ when a footballer kicks a ball, the ball and the man experience force of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction according to newton third law. It happens that the ball moves but the man does not move. Explain why?

Answer 1

Answer: This happens because action and reaction forcews are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The man's mass is much larger as compared to the mass of the ball. Therefore, the man will experience a force but it will have negligible impact on him. Hence the man doesn't move whereas the ball moves.
