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
I would agree.
Yup
To determine the force the wall exerts back on the bowling ball, we need to understand Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the force exerted by the bowling ball on the wall (6N) is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the wall on the bowling ball.
Therefore, the force exerted back on the bowling ball by the wall is also 6N. Hence, the correct answer is 6N.
