Well to answer your question, I believe ark mentioned Conservation of Momentum.

The law dictates that the momentum from any one object, when transfered, that momentum is equally distributed when a collision occurs, meaning that nothing is lost.

Another way of putting it is using the Conservation of Energy, where in an ideal situation, no energy is lost when something occurs, be it because of a force of a push, or a counter energy to bring the Net Energy to 0.

@Ark: I'm assuming that this was general what you were getting at?
