Question

A batter swings a bat and hits a baseball into the outfield. During the collision between bat and ball, how do the forces on the two objects compare? A. Both forces are equal in magnitude and direction. B. The forces are opposite indirection with the force on the ball much stronger in magnitude. C. Both forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction D. The forces are opposite indirection with the force on the bat much stronger in magnitude.

Explanation / Answer

C. Both forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

according to newton's third law , every action has equal and opposite reaction. hence when the bat hits the ball with some force , the ball hits back at the bat the same force in opposite direction.
