Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Object A exerts a rightward push upon Object B. Object B exerts a leftward push upon Object A. These two pushing forces have unequal magnitudes and are exerted in opposite directions of each other.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Newton’s third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted.

Detailed explanation-3: -Newton’s third law of motion is naturally applied to collisions between two objects. In a collision between two objects, both objects experience forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Such forces often cause one object to speed up (gain momentum) and the other object to slow down (lose momentum).

Detailed explanation-4: -Other examples of Newton’s third law are easy to find. As a teacher paces in front of a whiteboard, he exerts a force backward on the floor. The floor exerts a reaction force in the forward direction on the teacher that causes him to accelerate forward.

Detailed explanation-5: -If the motion of the ball has changed then a force must have been exerted on it. The force which opposes motion is called friction. Friction forces always act in the opposite direction to the motion of the object. Friction resists movement when the object and surface are in contact.
