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

Answer 1

The statement that is always correct according to Newton's third law of motion 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. Therefore, when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
