LAW OF INTERACTION

Examples:

1. Rowing in a boat can also be Newton’s third law. This happens because
while we paddled the water backward, it reacts by pushing the boat in its
opposite direction.
2. A man and a woman is standing on a flat surface. Suddenly, the woman
pushed the man to his left side. The woman also moved to the opposite
side because when she pushed the man, there's an action-reaction
happened.
3. A girl is playing on the beach, and suddenly she jumped. This scenario
can also identify as Newton's third law because as the girl jumps, she
pushes the ground, and the ground pushed her back. That's why she
managed to jump.
4. Elyse and her friends decided to have a mini competition in swimming
while they're at the rest house. When Elyse starts to swim, she pushed
herself on the wall to move forward. There's an action-reaction that
happened on Elyse and the wall.
5. Clyden wanted to build a doghouse for his newly adopted dog. When he
starts doing the doghouse, he hammers the nail on the wood, as the nail
goes deeper and deeper, the hammer is making a backward movement
because of the reaction from the blow.

Example with illustration and explanation:

3. A girl is playing on the beach, and suddenly

she jumped. This scenario can also identify as
Newton's third law because as the girl jumps,
she pushes the ground, and the ground pushed
her back. That's why she managed to jump.

Explanation:
In this scenario, there is an action-reaction force
happened. The girl managed to jump because
she pushed herself on the ground, that's an
action, and in return, the ground also pushed her
upward, that's a reaction. We can't see the ground pushing her up because
the earth is massive, and we are in lighter mass compared to the earth's
mass. Hence, we are the one who is experiencing the reaction coming from
the ground.
