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 scenario involves a physical change due to the reaction forces at play, resulting in the destruction (shattering) of the bat, which is a clear physical change.
