Question

A ball hits a wall. What is true about the magnitude of the force experienced by the ball compared with the force experienced by the wall?

OA.
The ball experiences more force than the wall.
OB.
The ball experiences less force than the wall.
The ball and the wall experience the same force.
OD.
The ball experiences half the force of the wall.

Answer 1

The ball and the wall experience the same force.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd Law of motion, each force has an equal and opposite reaction force. Although this concept is sometimes confused because people often mistake force for the action of the ball and wall after the collision. Of course, the ball will bounce back and the wall will stay still, but that has to do with collisions, not the force on the objects.
