Question

A man pushes down on a table.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pushes back against their hands.

Explanation:

The table pushes back against their hands. This is why we can't break objects easily.

Answer 2

Answer:

pushes back against the hand

Explanation:

This can be explained by Newton's third law.

Newton's third law states that every action corresponds to a reaction, of the same module, the same direction and opposite directions. This means that when we push on a surface, beings are pushed by the surface, in the same direction but in opposite directions. The same is true when we hit a surface with your hand. Our hand will receive the same blow that the surface received, in the same direction and in the opposite direction.

For this reason, we can say that if a man pushes a table with his hand, his hand will be pushed by the table too, but in the opposite direction. If the man pushed the table forward, his hand will be pushed back.
