The force of Earth's gravity pulls down on a stone after you toss it off a cliff. What is the "equal and opposite force" during this (interaction according to Newton's Third Law?

1. the force of the air pushing up on the stone

2. the force of the stone's gravity polling up on the Earth

3. the force of the stone pushing down on the air

4. there is no equal and opposite force in this case

    2. the force of the stone's gravity polling up on the Earth

    Explanation:

    As we apply the force on the stone, the acting gravity on the stone resists as a reaction force. But that also depends upon the angle of force applied. There will be less force required on the horizontal component than vertical relative to gravity. But the force of friction aided by gravity always resists as a reaction force.
