Rory Morse · Answer 1

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Elizabeth pushing against the wall with her hands. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the wall pushes back on Elizabeth's hands.
