Yes. The ball is moving, right? It has both momentum (mass times velocity) and kinetic energy (one-half the mass times the velocity squared). When you hit the ball with the bat, the energy of the ball is transferred to the bat, and the bat imposes its own energy and momentum to the ball.

Yes, an equal and opposite force.


If a bat exerts 40 newtons on the ball how many newtons does the ball exert on the bat?

zero


If a ball being struck by a bat exerts a reaction force on the bat why doesn't the bat move backward?

When a ball is being struck by a bat it certainly exerts a reaction force on the bat. But the bat does not move backward because the reaction is not enough to move the bat as it is much heavier than the ball. The reaction force is felt by the person who strikes the ball with the bat through his arm. If the ball is heavier than the ball the bat will surely get the reaction force and move back.


If you throw a ball to your friend. will the ball exert a force against your hand?

Since you need to exert force on the ball to push it away from you, the ball will obviously push back (with a force that has the same magnitude, but is in the opposite direction). This is an example of Newton's Third Law.


The paddle exerts a force of 50 N on the ball What force does the ball exert on the paddle?

-50 N


If a bat hits a ball with 1000 n of force how much force does the ball hit back on the bat?

1000 N as well.


Is there a force without any field?

All of the fundamental types of force can be mathematically described in the form of force fields. But force involves many things. If I throw a ball, I exert force on that ball which is then accelerated as a result. The force field involved is far from obvious, although it does exist. If you understand the physics deeply, you would see that in order for me to exert a force on a ball, the electrons in the atoms in my hand have to exert a force of repulsion on the electrons in the atoms of the ball. And that electromagnetic force can be described as a force field.


What is force with eg?

Force is a concept and is invisible. An example will be that you use to pull apart two magnets that are stuck together. That effort to pull the two magnets apart is a force. When your airplane is taking off, you feel your back is being pushed against your seat. What you are feeling is the force that the seat cushion is applying on you. When you hang a weight on a spring, the spring elongates. A force is applied by the weight on the spring to cause the lengthening of the spring. When you hit a softball, the softball flies away because you exert a force on the bat; the bat hits the ball; the ball stores the kinetic energy and then releases the energy as a force pushing on the ball until the ball leaves the bat.


What type of force does earth exert on a ball thrown in the air?

gravity


A baseball is hit with 1500 N of force The ball exerts a reaction force against the bat of?

As per Isaac Newton, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, the force that the bat exerts on the ball is the same as the force that the ball exerts on the bat; in this case, 1500 Newtons.


What makes the baseball bat crack when it hits the ball?
