When you step on a roach, the roach applies an equal and opposite force on your foot

as your foot applies to the roach (we don't advocate killing insects this way, especially if
you are barefoot),
True or false?

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the roach is applying the exact same force that you are applying to it by stepping on it.
