This is Newtons 3rd Law. "For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force."

So, the action is your hand applying a force to the wall, and the reaction is the wall pushing back with an equal force.

What pushes back on you when you push on a wall?

When you push on a wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on you. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, commonly referred to as action and reaction forces. The wall pushes back with a force that matches the force you apply in the opposite direction.


How many forces are required for a interaction?

An interaction requires a pair of forces acting on two separate objects. You can feel your fingers being pushed by your friends fingers. You also feel the same amount of force when you push on a wall and it pushes back on you. As a point of fact, you cannot push on the wall unless it pushes back on you.


How many forces are required for single interaction?

An interaction requires a pair of forces acting on two separate objects. You can feel your fingers being pushed by your friends fingers. You also feel the same amount of force when you push on a wall and it pushes back on you. As a point of fact, you cannot push on the wall unless it pushes back on you.


What are two forces that act when a ball hits a wall?

When a ball hits a wall, the force of the ball hitting the wall (impact force) pushes against the wall, while the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the ball (reaction force).


What is an example of newton third law?

-- When you push on a brick wall with a force of 50 pounds, the brick wall pushes back on you with a force of 50 pounds. That way, the forces on the palm of your hand are balanced, and your hand doesn't accelerate. -- When you stand on the ground with a force of 185 pounds, the ground pushes back on the bottom of your shoes with a force of 185 pounds. That way, the forces on the soles of your shoes are balanced, and your feet don't accelerate.

When you push on a wall what pushes back on you?

inertia


When you push on the wall what pushes back on you?

static friction


When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?

When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.


What will be the reaction if the action is you leaning on a wall?

If you lean on a wall, the reaction would depend on the stability and strength of the wall. In general, the wall will support your weight and you will feel leaning against it. If the wall is unstable or weak, it may not hold your weight and could potentially collapse.
