Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Newton’s third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force on a nail, the nail
A
creates a friction with the hammer.
B
disappears into the wood.
C
exerts an equal and opposite force on the hammer.
D
moves at a constant speed.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s third law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite force. The force of the hammer on the nail will be equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction, to the force of the nail on the hammer. Mathematically, that would mean . The nail would exert force on the hammer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Newton’s Third Law: Action & Reaction His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from interactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
