Answer 1

The situation in which the reactive force between two colliding objects causes a physical change is:

**a baseball player swinging a bat and hitting a baseball, causing the bat to shatter.**

This example shows a physical change in the bat due to the force of the collision, which exceeds the bat's structural integrity.
