Answer: Newton's Third Law of Motion

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third Law of Motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Given statement : When you are ice skating, to get started, you push your skate backwards on the ice and, as a result, begin to move forward.

Here, our action = "To push skate backwards "

Reaction = "Skate begin to move forward."

Since , forward is opposite of backward , it means that for your action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "Newton's third Law of Motion ".
