5. What is newton third law of motion ?

Every body maintains its initial state rest or motion unless no external force is applied.
The rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force on the body and takes place in the direction of force.
To every action there is equal and opposite reaction.
None of above.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Newton First Law of Motion : Every body maintains its initial state rest or motion unless no external force is applied.

Newton Second Law of Motion : The rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force on the body and takes place in the direction of force.
