Detailed explanation-1: -The forces acting on you as you sit in your chair are just one example of Newton’s third law, which states that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In fact, all forces come in pairs. No force exists in isolation.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another example of Newton’s third law in action is thrust. Rockets move forward by expelling gas backward at a high velocity. This means that the rocket exerts a large force backward on the gas in the rocket combustion chamber, and the gas, in turn, exerts a large force forward on the rocket in response.
Detailed explanation-4: -Look at multiple examples that illustrate this law, including pushing a block on ice, pushing against a desk, walking on sand, how rockets work, and how an astronaut could save themselves from drifting in space.
