13. A sledgehammer is swung at a wall. Once the sledgehammer hits the wall it does not breakthrough. How do the hammer and the wall act on each other?(1 point)
Responses

The hammer exerts a stronger force than the wall but in the same direction.
The hammer exerts a stronger force than the wall but in the same direction.

The hammer and the wall exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and in the same direction.

Question 14
14. In a game of T-ball, two batters hit a ball that is placed on a tee.

Batter A swings the bat from a resting position on his shoulder
Batter B places the bat directly behind the ball and pushes it forward without swinging

13. The hammer and the wall exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions. (Newton’s 3rd law)

14. Batter A. (A swinging bat has a greater speed at impact, giving the ball more momentum/energy.)

15. The speed of the bat when it hits the ball. (Impact speed determines the ball’s outgoing speed and thus how far it travels.)
