Q. Which Newton's law explains the phenomenon of a person falling backwards during the abrupt snapping of a rope while pulling a water-filled bucket?
Answer: Third Law of Motion
Notes: According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This law is demonstrated when a person pulling a water-filled bucket abruptly falls backward due to the rope's unexpected snapping. The backwards fall of the person is the reaction to the force exerted by them on the rope to lift the bucket, which suddenly ceases when the rope breaks.
