the concept's application here is very simple. As we walk we exert a certain amount of force on the Earth and governed by the 3rd law the Earth exerts the equal amount of force back on our foot (opposite direction) but as the Earth is very massive to observe the push that we exert only the force the it exerts it felt this added to friction provides the stability of the feet while in movement

Newton's 3rd law:

For every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction.

You exert a force on the ground with every step you take, and since the ground doesn't cave in and you fall right through, the ground must then exert a equal force to oppose the force you exert.

its as simple as this... you push against the ground, the ground pushes you back.

(for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction!!!)

A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?

Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.
