Question
a ball strikes a wall. it exerts a force of 10 n to the left against the wall and bounces off. what force does the wall exert on the ball? 10 n to the right 10 n to the left more than 10 n to the right more than 10 n to the left
Step1: Apply Newton's third - law
According to Newton's third - law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The ball exerts a 10 N force to the left on the wall. So, the wall exerts an equal magnitude force in the opposite direction on the ball.
