Question

The Dodgers are up at bat during the World Series. Joc Pederson swings his baseball bat and it collides perfectly with the baseball. Identify the action and reaction forces when the bat hits the baseball.   
Action force:     
Reaction force:​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. ... The baseball forces the bat to the left; the bat forces the ball to the right. Together, these two forces exerted upon two different objects form the action-reaction force pair.
