Q: Which of the following examples explains Newton third law of motion?
  • A. Rocket launching
  • B. On the sudden move of the bus, the passengers get jerked backwards.
  • C. When we stop pedaling, the cycle starts to slow down.
  • D. While catching a fast approaching cricket ball, the fielder slowly moves his hand backwards with the moving ball.
Correct Answer: Option A - According to the Newton third law of motion, if an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts the same force on the first object in the opposite direction. It is also called the law of action reaction. For example – • Pushing the gun backwards when firing from the gun. • Rocket launching etc.
