If a bowling ball hits a wall with a force of 6 N, the wall exerts a force of (blank) back on the bowling ball.
A. 0 N
B. 3 N
C. 6 N
D. 12 N
Is the answer C?
Thank you
Yes, assuming the wall is not broken, moved, or indented.
The answer is not C. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the correct answer to this question is B. The wall exerts a force of 3 N on the bowling ball.
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand Newton's third law of motion, which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, when the bowling ball hits the wall with a force of 6 N, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force back on the bowling ball.
So, the force exerted by the wall back on the bowling ball will also be 6 N. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
