A baseball thrown by a pitcher is hit by a batter. At the moment when the ball hits the bat, the force exerted on the bat by the ball is Fball on bat and the force exerted on the ball by the bat is Fbat on ball . The relationship between these forces is __________.(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AFball on bat=−Fbat on ball%0D%0Aupper F subscript ball on bat baseline equals negative upper F subscript bat on ball baseline%0D%0A%0D%0AFball on bat<Fbat on ball%0D%0Aupper F subscript ball on bat baseline less than upper F subscript bat on ball baseline%0D%0A%0D%0AFball on bat>Fbat on ball%0D%0Aupper F subscript ball on bat baseline greater than upper F subscript bat on ball baseline%0D%0A%0D%0AFball on bat=Fbat on ball
Fball on bat=−Fbat on ball
The correct relationship between the forces is:
Fball on bat = −Fbat on ball
or
Fball on bat = negative Fbat on ball
The relationship between the forces exerted on the bat by the ball and the forces exerted on the ball by the bat can be expressed as:
Fball on bat = -Fbat on ball
This means that the force exerted on the bat by the ball is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted on the ball by the bat. In other words, if the ball exerts a force of F on the bat, the bat exerts a force of -F on the ball. This relationship is known as Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
