The acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Net \; Force = mass * acceleration$

Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac {Net \; Force}{Mass}$

In this scenario, the acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the ball. Thus, this example best illustrates Newton's second law of motion.
