Question

a ball bounces on the ground. how do the ball and the ground act on each other? (1 point)
the ball exerts a stronger force than the ground and in the opposite direction.
the ball exerts a stronger force than the ground but in the same direction.
the ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude and in the same direction.
the ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.

Explanation:

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 ball bouncing on the ground, the ball exerts a force on the ground (action), and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (reaction).

Answer:

The ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.
