According to Newton's third law, the equal but opposite reaction to hitting a wall with a stick is the force exerted by the wall onto the stick. This reaction force is not cancelled out because the forces act on different systems - the wall and the stick. ;

Hitting the wall with a stick demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When you hit the wall, you exert a force on it, while the wall exerts an equal force back on your stick. This interaction shows how forces operate in pairs on different objects.
