Question
You are hurt when you kick a stone. Why?
✓
Answer
This happens due to Newton's third law of motion. To every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. When you kick a stone, you apply some force on it. To maintain the Law of Conservation of momentum, the stone also exerts a force on the leg, which we feel as pain.
