Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a player throws a football , he applies force on the ball , due to which ball accelerates in forward direction . This is the action force .

The ball also applies a force on the hand of the player . Due to it the player experiences a pushing force in backward direction . This is reaction force .

Due to this force , the player does not move in backward direction because of frictional force of the ground . The frictional force keeps him stationary .
