Answer

The Newton’s third law states —

“To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction”.

So, when a bullet is fired from a gun, a force F is exerted on the bullet (action) and the gun experiences an equal recoil R (reaction) as shown.

When a shot is fired from a gun, the gun gets recoiled. Explain. Laws of Motion, Concise Physics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Hence, Newton's third law is obeyed.
