If a girl hits a ball with a bat, then the ball a) exerts no force on the bat b)exerts a smaller force on the bat than the bat exerts on the ball c) exerts a force on the bat equal to the force that the bat exerts on the ball

c) exerts a force on the bat equal to the force that the bat exerts on the ball

Explanation:

As per Newton's III law we know that when some force is applied on a system then equal and opposite reaction force is exerted by that system on us.

This equal and opposite force is known as reaction force due to applied force which is known as action force.

So As per Newton's III law we can say that every action has equal and opposite reaction force.

So here we can say that when girl hit the ball with the bat then some force is exerted by the bat on the ball so the reaction force due to ball on bat will be there which is of same magnitude but that would be in opposite direction

so here correct answer will be

c) exerts a force on the bat equal to the force that the bat exerts on the ball
