Newton’s third law
Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton said that when two objects interact with each other they exert forces upon each other. When shooting an arrow from a bow, Newton’s third law is shown. First the arrow is clipped tightly to hold it in place. The arrow is exerting a clamping force on the string and the string is also pushing back on the arrow. Next the shooter exerts a pulling back force on the string and the arrow moves backwards. Then the string is released and it returns to its original position and the arrow moves into flight away from the bow. The string is therefore pulled backwards and the arrow and string move forwards when released. This is an action with an equal and opposite reaction.
