When a ball bounces, what action and reaction forces do the ball and the ground exert?(1 point)
Responses
A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
The ball's force is stronger than that of the ground, and they go in opposite directions.
The ball's force is stronger than that of the ground, and they go in opposite directions.
The ball's force is the same as that of the ground and they go in the same direction.

The correct answer is:
A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
A ball bouncing is a classic example of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When a ball bounces, it exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball. This means that the forces exerted by the ball and the ground have the same magnitude but are in opposite directions. This can be observed when the ball is compressed upon contact with the ground, and then rebounds in the opposite direction.
Therefore, the correct response is: A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
