Question on Third law of motion.

AI Thread Summary
The third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning two bodies exert equal forces on each other during a collision. In the example of one block hitting another, both blocks apply forces on each other simultaneously. The reason the initially moving block does not come to rest immediately is due to its momentum, which allows it to continue moving for a brief period after the collision. Despite both blocks exerting equal forces, the momentum of the moving block influences its velocity during the collision. Understanding this interplay of force and momentum clarifies why the blocks do not instantly stop.

Acc: to the third law of motion.
if one body acts force on another body then another body acts same force on it.
Ex:One block hits another block.so they apply force on each other

My question is that!
why block not cames to rest.and for small interval it has some vel:.

They still apply the same force. The only thing is the block that was moving initially is carrying momentum when it collides with the second.
