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 — when object A exerts a force on object B, B exerts an equal and opposite force on A. It does not guarantee motion (objects may not move) or bouncing/stopping.
