When a ball is thrown at the wall it exerts a force on the wall and the wall exerts a force on the ball that is both equal and opposite. This is an example of which of newtons laws?
A. Newton’s first law of motion
B. Newton’s second law of motion
C. Newton’s third law of motion
C. Newton's third law of motion
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a ball is thrown at a wall, the ball exerts a force on the wall, and in response, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball. This interaction causes the ball to bounce back.
