Answer:
The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)
Explanation:
Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.
In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.
This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.
While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction, both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.
You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.
Cheers!
