when a ball bounces, what action and reaction forces do the ball and the ground exert?
the ball's force is stronger than that of the ground, and they go in opposite directions.
a ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
the ball's force is the same as that of the ground and they go in the same direction.
the ball's force is stronger that that of the ground, and they go in the same direction.
a ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
When a ball bounces, the action and reaction forces that the ball and the ground exert are of the same magnitude but in opposing directions. This is known as Newton's Third Law of motion. So, the correct answer is: "A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions."
According to Newton's Third Law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a ball bounces, there are indeed action and reaction forces involved between the ball and the ground.
The correct answer is: "A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions."
To understand this concept, we need to break it down:
1. Action force: The ball exerts a downward force on the ground when it hits the ground.
2. Reaction force: In response to the ball's action force, the ground exerts an upward reaction force on the ball.
These forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The ball pushes down, and the ground pushes up. This interaction causes the ball to bounce back into the air.
So, when a ball bounces, the action and reaction forces involved are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction between the ball and the ground.
