Which of the following is NOT an application of third law of motion? 

The correct answer is A fielder pulls his hands gradually with the moving ball while holding a catch.

Key Points

• Newton's Third Law of Motion states that 'To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction'.
• When the rocket is ignited, it releases gases from its thruster thereby creating a force that will push rocket upwards which provides a necessary force that helps it in moving ahead.
• also a action reaction force acting on a book kept on a desk as shown below

Additional Information

• Newton First law states that Every object remains in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
• When a bus starts suddenly, the passengers receive a backward jerk an application of Newton's first law of motion.
• Newton's Second Law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force. i.e. F=ma. Where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a is the acceleration produced.
• A fielder pulling his hand back while catching a ball is an application of Newton's second law of motion.
