Hi there,
The simplest way to remember it is :
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"
best wishes..

This law of motion is most commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force."

The third law follows mathematically from the law of conservation of momentum.

As shown in the diagram opposite, the skaters' forces on each other are equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction. Although the forces are equal, the accelerations are not: the less massive skater will have a greater acceleration due to Newton's second law. It is important to note that the action/reaction pair act on different objects and do not cancel each other out.

If a basketball hits the ground, the basketball's force on the Earth is the same as Earth's force on the basketball. However, due to the ball's much smaller mass, Newton's second law predicts that its acceleration will be much greater than that of the Earth. Not only do planets accelerate toward stars, but stars also accelerate toward planets. If a star gravitationally attracts a planet, then the planet will gravitationally attract the star. Usually the planet is less massive than the star and thus displays greater changes in it's state of motion. Similarly, if a falling ball is pulled towards the Earth, then the reaction force is that the Earth is pulled toward the ball. We can not detect any change in the Earth's motion because it is much more massive than the ball.

The two forces in Newton's third law are of the same type, e.g., if the road exerts a forward frictional force on an accelerating car's tires, then it is also a frictional force that Newton's third law predicts for the tires pushing backward on the road.

For every action there is opposite and equal reaction. So question is your action and the answer is the opp site But is it equal

Newton's Third Law
A force is a push or a pull upon an object which results from its interaction with another object.

No your social gathering isn't incorrect for Newton's third regulation of action. there is one action in contact: ball hitting the wall, and one reaction: wall causing the ball to bounce decrease back. The reaction is in opposite direction of action. except for the action stress and the reaction stress are co-linear, it truly is, horizontal (assuming the wall is vertical).
