Newton's Third Law can be called the Law of Reciprocal Actions or the Action-Reaction Law. The scientific definition of this law is, whenever one body exerts force upon a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force upon the first body. Or in aneasier way, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, which can be very confusing and even incorrect in some situations. For example, if you pushed on a wall and the wall broke through it wouldn’t make sense using this conjecture, but you would have to take into consideration muscles and other major inconsistencies. During a high 5 your hand pushes against the other persons hand with an equal and opposite force. This happens simultaneously. |

The man on the right is pushing on the man on the left, and the man on the left is pushing back with an equal and opposite force. |
