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

Answer 1

According to Newton’s third law of motion, the statement that is always correct is:

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

This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning that when one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction back on the first object.
