In the physics text for F(net) = ma, the text expresses how
"F(net) must be the vector sum of all the forces that act on the body, and that only forces that act on that body are to be included in the vector sum, not forces acting on other bodies that might be involved in the given situation." "It does not include any push or pull on another object from you."
As an example, you are in an isolated frictionless system where 3 forces act on you giving you acceleration in a random direction, and a 4th force would be you pushing on an object giving you an acceleration in the opposite direction.
Am i just supposed to ignore this force when constructing Fnet or a free body diagram? Isn't the infamous normal force on free body diagrams a Third Law reactionary force?
