I have a question about work. If Newtons 3rd law of motion states there is an equal and opposite reaction for any force. Now if for example I apply 500 Newtons of force on my dresser and move it 5 meters I used 2500 joules of energy. Now because the dresser is equally putting that much force in return for the same distance does this also mean the dresser used 2500 joules of energy resisting my force? So I used 5000 joules of energy?
