When we push a body say for example,a crate on ground.Then in response to our force the crate also exerts a force on our hands.Then my question is why does the crate move forward and not we that move backward?

The interaction between you and the crate involves equal and opposite forces that you exert on each other.moatasim23 said:When we push a body say for example,a crate on ground.Then in response to our force the crate also exerts a force on our hands.
Whether an object accelerates depends on the net force acting on it. Presumably there are other forces acting on you, such as friction from the ground to hold you steady. But if you and the crate were on frictionless ice, then you would both move as a result of your push: You'd move backward and the crate would move forward.Then my question is why does the crate move forward and not we that move backward?
The Third Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Action and Reaction, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object will exert an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
The First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. The Second Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Acceleration, states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The Third Law of Motion, as stated before, deals with the equal and opposite forces between two objects.
Yes, the Third Law of Motion applies to all objects in the universe. It is a fundamental law of physics and is essential in understanding and predicting the behavior of objects.
The Third Law of Motion can be observed in many everyday situations. For example, when walking, the force exerted by your feet on the ground results in an equal and opposite force from the ground, propelling you forward. Similarly, when you push a door, the door exerts an equal and opposite force back, allowing you to open it. In fact, every object in our daily lives is constantly exerting and experiencing equal and opposite forces due to the Third Law of Motion.
No, according to the Third Law of Motion, every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if an object is exerting a force, it will always experience a force in the opposite direction. This is a fundamental principle of physics and has been consistently observed in all experiments.
