Newton's Third Law

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

If you strike an object with a force of 200 Newtons, then the object also strikes back, also with a force of 200 Newtons. Not only does a bullet exert force upon a target; also, the target exerts equal force upon the bullet.

Now that you have been introduced to the Laws of Motion, let's see if we can hit that castle with a cannonball.
