when a force is exerted on an object,,there is an equal and opposite reaction,,how can anything move?as,,equal and opposite forces mean the net force is zero,,

One force acts on one body the second acts on the other body. It is easy to visualize if you are on a boat and push away from the deck. You move by pushing on the deck. You push to hard you can break something on the deck (and you still move if you didn't fall from the boat).

Just because the forces are equal and opposite does not mean that if you are sandwiched between two forces there is no net effect.
What ever is in between 2 equal and opposite forces will experience the squashing pressure of the forces and will be squashed like a pancake.
The net force is the sum of the magnetude of the two forces moving to produce the squashing energy.Forces move and is defined as energy per Unit distance travelled.
Newton does not mention squahing force. The 3rd law simply state to every action there there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Its the most correct statement of the laws of motion .Even Einstein could not contradict that.

however, the action and reaction forces act on 2 different objects
..like wen u throw a ball on the floor ..u first exert force on the ball and the ground exerts an equal, but opposite force on the ball causin it 2 bounce

The reaction force is only illusory. It's like the apparent centrifugal force in a spinning system; the true force is centripetal (toward the centre) but the apparent reaction force is centrifugal (directed outward). The point of the Third Law is to quantify that apparent reaction force as equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the real, action force.

its easy its like if u take a hockey stick and hit the puck the force u used to hit comes back at u because u can feel the vibrations on the stick

yes but you don't calulate both forces together it is seprate for each one
it's like carma lol
