Question

When a bat strikes a ball, the force exerted can send the ball deep into the outfield. Where is the equal and opposite force in this case? Select one: A. bat's force on the batter B. ball's force on the bat C. ball's force on the air

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is option B: the ball´s force on the bat

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Newton's third law (action and reaction) that says: If two bodies interact the force of one exerts on the other is of equal magnitude, direction and opposite direction

Therefore, if the bat hits the ball (action), the ball (reaction) with a force on the bat of equal magnitude, but opposite direction
