The diagram shows all the action-reaction pairs:

| Force | Action-reaction pair | |
|---|---|---|
| Gravity | The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the puck |
the gravitational force exerted by the puck on the Earth |
| Normal force | The normal force exerted by the ice on the puck |
The normal force exerted by the puck on the ice |
| Force of friction | The force of friction exerted by the ice on the puck |
The force of friction exerted by the puck on the ice |
The magnitude of is 3 N (0.3 kg x 10 N/kg) and the magnitude of is also 3 N.
The magnitude of is 3 N and the magnitude of is also 3 N.
The magnitude of is 0.06 N and the magnitude of is also 0.06 N.
Important note: Even though and are equal and opposite forces, they are not an action-reaction pair!
