Which Newton's laws can be demonstrated observing the effect of a boxer hitting a punching bag with a naked fist?Explain it in 20 words and bring another example of the same law.

Newton's third law, when a boxer hits a punching bag, his fists hits the bag sending a force to the punching bag, the bag then responds by sending a force back to the boxer, therefore, stopping its motion. Another example of Newton's third law is when a swimmer finishes a lap and pushes off the wall with their feet, the swimmer sends a force against the wall and the wall responds by equaling the force of the swimmers kick, sending the swimmer forward in an accelerating motion.

What phenomenon is involved in the functioning of the car brakes? Explain in at least 20 words.

Pascals principle, it's the phenomenon where the liquid in a container undergoes pressure change its transmitted without loss to every part of the container. And how it works with car brakes and lifting cars is because the pressure is equal to the force divided by the area. So the pressure on the small tube of the car brakes will send enough pressure and force to stop the car.

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
