easy Q3 of 15
General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?
AA book resting on a table.
BA ball rolling down an inclined plane.
CA car accelerating on a straight road.
DA swimmer pushing water backwards and moving forward.
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand Newton's Third Law

    It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  2. 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.
  3. Final Answer:

    A swimmer pushing water backwards and moving forward. → Option D
  4. Quick 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.
