Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
Based on this principle, the statement "If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back" is always correct. The "push back" is the second object exerting an equal and opposite force in response to the force applied by the first object.
