Answer:

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from interactions

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s Third Law: Action & Reaction

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. In other words, forces result from interactions.

Examples of action and reaction involving aerodynamics:

  • The motion of lift from an airfoil, the air is deflected downward by the airfoil’s action, and in reaction, the wing is pushed upward.
  • The motion of a spinning ball, the air is deflected to one side, and the ball reacts by moving in the opposite
  • The motion of a jet engine produces thrust and hot exhaust gases flow out the back of the engine, and a thrusting force is produced in the opposite direction

Answer :

Newton's Third law of motion states :

" Every action has an equal and opposite reaction "

i.e If a force is applied by an object A on another object B then that object B also exerts a foce on object A, that is of same magnitude and opposite direction to the force applied by object A.

Ex - A book on a table exerts gravitational force on the table and table exerts back a normal force on the book.
