In the series of Newton's Laws of Motion, the third one is the Law of Interaction. This states that for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. The forces are termed as "action" and "reaction" forces. These forces have numerically equal magnitudes but opposite in direction.

From the examples given above, those that fall to this category are: (1) The motion of the bat and the baseball as described above, and (2) the motion of the bee and the windshield.
