If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will start moving.

Answer 1

If a moving object hits another object, then the second object will push back.

Explanation: Newton’s third law states that forces come in equal and opposite pairs, so when one object exerts a force on another, the second exerts an equal and opposite force back. This does not guarantee bouncing or motion of the second object.
