Question

the picture below shows a student pulling on a rope that is attached to a wall. wall
which statement correctly describes the amount of force applied by the wall as the student continues to apply a 250 - newton force?
the wall pulls with a force of 125 newtons against the student.
the wall pulls with a force of 250 newtons against the student.
the wall exerts twice as much force as the student.
the wall exerts no force since it is stationary.
the magnitude of the force that a baseball bat exerts on a ball is 50 newtons. the magnitude of the force that the ball exerts on the bat is
5.0n
10n
50n
250n

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Newton's Third Law

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Step2: Analyze the first problem

In the case of the student pulling the rope attached to the wall, the student applies a 250 - newton force. By Newton's Third Law, the wall pulls back with a force of 250 newtons against the student.

Step3: Analyze the second problem

For the baseball bat and ball, when the bat exerts a 50 - newton force on the ball, the ball exerts a 50 - newton force on the bat (Newton's Third Law).

Answer:

1. The wall pulls with a force of 250 newtons against the student.
2. 50N
