To say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is slightly misleading you, as these forces are NOT on the same object.

Better to say 'if A exerts a force on B, then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A'.

When I stand on my bathroom scales, I exert a downward force on the scales, which deflect until they exert an equal and opposite force on me, thus preventing me from falling.

Acceleration occurs to ME when forces on ME are unbalanced. e.g. if I stood on a rocket the upward force of the rocket on me is greater than the downward force of gravity, so I would accelerate upwards. These are NOT action-reaction forces.

What are action-reaction forces are the force I exert on the rocket and the force the rocket exerts on me.

What is newtons third law of motion called?

Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."


According To Newtons 3rd Law Of Motion For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction Then How Come Things Move If There's Going To Be Something Moving Them Back With Equal Force?

Nope - it's something else that gets the "equal & opposite". When you walk the force that pushes you forward pushes the ground backwards.
