Question

PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!! When an NBA player dribbles a basketball, which of the following explains why the ball

bounces back to his hand?
A. The player's hand exerts a force on the ball, which exerts an equal and
opposite force on the hand.
B. The ball exerts a force on the ground, which exerts an equal and opposite
force on the ball.
C. The ground exerts a stronger force on the ball than the ball exerts on the
ground.
D. The ball exerts a stronger force on the ground than the ground exerts on the
ball

Answer 1

B. The ball exerts a force on the ground, which exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s Third Law applies here. When the ball hits the ground, it exerts a force on the ground. The ground pushes the ball back up with an equal and opposite force, returning it to the player's hand and allowing him to dribble.

Answer 2

I think the answer would be B because it’s the only one that makes sense
