while wearing roller blades, you push against a wall. Use Newton's third law of motion to explain what happens next.

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push against a wall while wearing roller blades, the force you apply on the wall is the action, and the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on you, which is the reaction.

As a result, the wall's reaction force pushes you backward with the same force you applied to the wall. This force causes you to move in the opposite direction from the wall, away from it. Since you are wearing roller blades, which have low friction, there is less resistance against your movement, allowing you to slide backward.

It's important to note that while the reaction force from the wall propels you backward, there might be other forces acting upon you, such as the force of gravity or any friction between the roller blades and the ground. These additional forces can affect your overall motion. Nonetheless, Newton's third law explains the immediate reaction you experience when pushing against the wall.
