Question
newtons third law quick check
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 and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.
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.
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball bounces on the ground, the ball exerts a force on the ground (action), and the ground exerts a force on the ball (reaction). These two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
