please check my answer thanks :)

Mr. Jones, angry at Dr. Bob , throws a punch at him but misses. Dr Bob sues for battery. why will Dr Bob lose?

1.There was no physical contact
2. Dr Bob was not harmed

I picked #1 no physical contact

I think you're right.

It appears that you have chosen option #1, which states that there was no physical contact between Mr. Jones and Dr. Bob. Let's examine whether this is the correct answer and whether Dr. Bob would lose his lawsuit.

To assess whether Dr. Bob will lose, we need to consider the elements of battery. Battery is a civil offense that typically requires three elements to be proven:

1. Intent: The person causing the harm must have an intent to make physical contact or intentionally cause harm.
2. Physical contact: There must be physical contact or some form of unpermitted touching.
3. Harm: The victim must suffer some form of harm or offensive contact as a result of the physical contact.

In this case, Mr. Jones throws a punch at Dr. Bob but misses. Although the punch did not land, it's important to note that a battery claim does not necessarily require the victim to be harmed. The key factor is whether there was physical contact.

If there was no physical contact, it would be difficult for Dr. Bob to establish a claim for battery. Without physical contact, it becomes challenging to demonstrate that Mr. Jones intentionally caused harm or offended Dr. Bob.

Therefore, if you have chosen option #1 because there was no physical contact, it seems to be the correct answer as Dr. Bob may likely lose his lawsuit for battery.
