Which of the following is NOT an application of third law of motion?
A.Colliding with player while kicking a football and feeling hurt.
B.As the sailor jumps in forward direction, the boat moves backwards.
C.A fielder pulls his hands gradually with the moving ball while holding a catch.✓ Correct
D.A forward force on the bullet and recoil of the gun.
Explanation
A fielder pulling hands gradually while catching a ball is an application of the impulse-momentum theorem (reducing force by increasing time), which relates to Newton's Second Law, not the Third Law. The other options all demonstrate action-reaction pairs.
