Answer:
It is true that in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, meaning that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object. However, this does not necessarily mean that the objects will not accelerate.
Acceleration depends on the net force acting on an object, which is the sum of all forces acting on the object. If the forces are balanced (i.e. they are equal and opposite), then there is no net force and the object will not accelerate. However, if the forces are unbalanced (i.e. they are not equal and opposite), then there is a net force and the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
For example, if you push a book across a table with a force of 5 N to the right, the book will experience a force of 5 N to the left due to friction. These two forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced because they act in opposite directions. The net force on the book is therefore 5 N to the right, which causes the book to accelerate in that direction.
