The correct response is:
The ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.
This is in accordance with Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball hits the ground, it exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball.
Yes, I'm sure. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, when two objects interact, they exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
In the case of a bouncing ball, when the ball makes contact with the ground, it exerts a downward force on the ground (due to gravity and its motion), and the ground responds by exerting an equal upward force on the ball. This is why the ball bounces back up after hitting the ground.
So, the correct statement remains: The ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.
