Object Demonstration:
The chosen object is a Cross Bow or Arbalest.

Law definition:
There are two parts to this statement - one that predicts the behavior of stationary objects and the other that predicts the behavior of moving objects. The two parts are summarized in the following diagram

Law:
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
Moreover, if force is kept constant, the speed of bow will be inversely proportional to its mass.
That can be related as:

Law of Motion:
Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Example: When a bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet speedily moves forward giving the shooter a jerk in the opposite direction. The two forces are equal in magnitude and as seen, opposite in direction.
A Projectile
A projectile is an object upon which the only force
acting is gravity. By definition, a projectile has a single force that acts upon it - the force of gravity. If there were any other force acting upon an object, then that object would not be a projectile.
