If a bowling ball hits a wall with a force of 6 N the wall exerts what force back on the bowling ball?
the choices are
0N
3N
6N
12N
I think its 6N
You are correct. Newton's third law.
thank you
To determine the force exerted by the wall on the bowling ball, you can apply Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this scenario, the action is the bowling ball hitting the wall with a force of 6 N.
According to Newton's third law, the reaction force exerted by the wall on the bowling ball will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. Therefore, the force exerted by the wall back on the bowling ball will also be 6 N.
Hence, the correct choice is 6N.
