Whenever an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction to that of the first object.

Always true

An archer shoots an arrow. Consider the action force to be the bowstring against the arrow. The reaction to this force is the

Arrow's push against the bowstring
