Question

A batter hits a baseball with a bat. The bat exerts a force on the ball. Does the ball exert a force on the bat?

Answer 1

Answer:

when batter hit the ball with bat then force is applied by the bat on the ball and same force is applied on the bat by the ball.

This is an example of action reaction law

Explanation:

As we know by newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction force

Which means if a force is applied by an object to another object then the same magnitude force is applied by that object on the first one.

The force will be of same magnitude but opposite in direction

This is known as reaction force.

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction force on it.

So here when batter hit the ball with bat then force is applied by the bat on the ball and same force is applied on the bat by the ball.

This is an example of action reaction law

Answer 2

Yes, think about the difference of swinging a bat and not hitting a ball. It's fairly easy right? Now, when you hit a ball with the bat, you will feel the bat sting your hands. That's the force the ball is exerting on the bat!
