When we kick a stone, we get hurt. Due to which one of the following properties does it happen?

The correct answer is reaction.

CONCEPT:

Newton’s Third Law:

• To every action, there is always an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) reaction.
• When a body exerts a force on any other body, the second body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
• Forces in nature always occur in pairs. A single isolated force is not possible.

EXPLANATION:

• When we kick a stone, so the force that the foot (kick) exerts on the stone is equal and opposite to the force that the stone exerts on the foot. Therefore option 3 is correct.

• Newton's third law of motion is applicable irrespective of the nature of the forces. The forces of action and reactions may be mechanical, gravitational, electric, or of any other nature.
• Action and reaction always act on different bodies. If they acted on the same body, the resultant force would be zero and there could never be accelerated motion.
• The forces of action and reaction cannot cancel each other. This is because action and reaction, though equal and opposite, always act on different bodies and so cannot balance each other.
• No action can occur in the absence of a reaction.
