A person is standing on a frictionless horizontal ground. He can move by a certain distance on this ground by sneezing. This is because of Newton’s 3rd law of motion. As he sneezes, air from is nose blow out with a strong force, as a resultant of this forward flow of air, there will be an opposite reaction that will lead to backward movement of the person.

Note: Newton’s 3rd law states that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
