Question
How does hitting a baseball with a bat demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion?
(1 point)
• The ball changes direction only when the bat hits it.
• The acceleration of the ball depends on the force of the bat.
• A ball with a smaller mass hit with the same force would travel further if there were no air.
O The force of the ball on the bat is the same as the force of the bat on the ball.

The correct answer is: **The force of the ball on the bat is the same as the force of the bat on the ball.**
This demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bat hits the baseball, the bat exerts a force on the ball, and in return, the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat.
