The correct example of Newton's 3rd law of motion is - A swimmer who jumps off a raft moves forward through the air, and the raft moves backward through the water.

Newton's 3rd law states that in every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. It means if we put F force to something there would be equal and opposite force would be applied on us:

$F_{reaction} = - F_{reaction}$

Explaining given options:

Newton's 1st law is applied in the case where a hockey puck sliding on the ice will keep going until it is hit by another player (force) or hits the wall . The second example is showing Newton's 2nd law as here net force depends on the product of mass and acceleration of objects. it takes more forced to move a large tractor-trailer and it does to move a small sports car . The force is exerted by the swimmer on the raft while jumping and the raft reacts in equal and opposite force, therefore, moved backward.Newton's law of inertia is applied on the last example in which an object will continue to move in the same direction if there is no external force on it

Thus, the correct answer is example 3.

Answer from: Jerrikasmith28

A swimmer who jumps off a raft moves forward through the air, and the raft moves backwards through the water.

Explanation:

As per Newton's III law we know that it is based upon action reaction pair of force.

So as per Newton's III law we know that when we apply some force on an object then it will exert equal and opposite force on us which is known as reaction force

so here we can say that

$\vec F_{action} =-\vec F_{reaction}$

so here we can say that when a swimmer jumps off a raft then swimmer apply action force on the boat in backward direction and due to this he will get a reaction force in forward direction due to which he is able to jump off.

So correct answer will be

A swimmer who jumps off a raft moves forward through the air, and the raft moves backwards through the water.
