Recoil

Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. When you fire, say, a rifle, the butt of the gun is pushed into your shoulder. That is a reaction to the bullet's being propelled (accelerated) down the barrel of the gun. That reaction is known as recoil.
