Q: When bullet is fired from the gun, the gun pushes in the opposite direction. This is an example of Newton law.
  • A. First and second laws of motion
  • B. Third law of motion
  • C. Second law of motion
  • D. First law of motion
Correct Answer: Option B - According to Newton third law of motion, when an object exerts a force on another object, the second object also exerts the same force on the first object, i.e. each action has its equal and opposite reaction. It is also called the Law of action-reaction. The example in question also follows Newton third law of motion (action-reaction rule). For example, when a person jumps from the boat to the river, the boat goes backwards, launching of rockets, etc.
