The ball and the ground exert equal and opposite forces on each other according to Newton's third law of motion. When the ball hits the ground, the ground exerts an upward force on the ball, causing it to bounce back. At the same time, the ball exerts a downward force on the ground.

When the ball on the left is pulled to the side and released, it will swing back towards the right. According to Newton's third law of motion, when the ball on the left hits the ball on the right, there will be equal and opposite forces exerted between them. As a result, the ball on the right will also start moving in the opposite direction, swinging in response to the impact.
