They exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
This is Newton’s Third Law: for every force one object applies to a second, the second applies an equal and opposite force on the first. The resulting accelerations can be different (F = ma) because the masses differ, and the momentum/velocity changes depend on those masses and the contact time.
