Physics Review Question Unit: Waves Year: 1992 Question#: 45 Question: A bat applies an average force of 500 newtons on a baseball for 0.20 seconds. What was the average force applied by the ball on the bat? (1 ) 100N (2 ) 200N (3 ) 500N (4 ) 1000N What is this question really asking? Explanation by: Ray [ Return to question menu ] Answer 1 100N INCORRECT This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 100N is not equal to 500N. return to top Answer 2 200N INCORRECT This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 200N is not equal500N. return to top Answer 3 500N CORRECT This is correct, because Newton's third law states that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 500N is equal to 500N. return to top Answer 4 yellow INCORRECT This answer is incorrect, because by Newton's third law, which states, that forces act in equal and opposite pairs. 1000N is not equal 500N. return to top What's this question really asking? Do forces act in pairs? return to top |
