When Arti kicks a football, two forces interact. Arti's foot exerts a force of 5N on the ball. What size force will be exerted on Arti's foot?
Answers
5N force will be exerted on Arti's foot.
• According to the Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
• This Newton's third law of motion is applicable almost everywhere in our planet, including the scenario which is mentioned in the question.
• If Arti applies a force of 5N on the football,then the football will also apply the same 5N force on the Arti's foot. But this reverse force application on the foot isn't much noticable due to the greater mass of the foot.
