Which of the following is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?
easy Q3 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand Newton's Third Law
It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.Step 2: Analyze examples
A swimmer pushes water backward (action), and water pushes swimmer forward (reaction). Other options do not illustrate action-reaction pairs clearly.Final Answer:
A swimmer pushing water backwards and moving forward. → Option DQuick Check:
Newton's Third Law = Action and reaction forces ✅
Quick Trick: Look for pairs of forces acting on different bodies.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing motion examples without action-reaction forces.
