**Please help** Describe a scenario that illustrates Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Identify both the action force and the reaction force.
If you throw a heavy ball or block away from your body, the force exerted will push back on you, possibly pushing you backward onto the ground. -- You find it hard to walk on a slippery surface because the only way you can walk forward is for your foot to push backward on the surface of the ground. Through friction, the ground is essentially "pushing back" against the force of your step. -- A rocket can be launched into space because the hot gases from it are being propelled downward from the rocket, causing the rocket to move upward with equal force. (Gravity, of course, is opposing its acceleration during this reaction.)
Alright okay I understand. Thanks for helping me. @valentina613
