When a tennis player practices by hitting a ball against a wall the player is making use of Newton's Third Law. According to Newton's Third Law, whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object, These two forces are called action and reaction forces. Back to the question, the tennis player is making use of Newton's Third Law because when he is hitting a ball against the wall, he is exerting a force. However without the wall exerting an equal and opposite force on the ball, it would be impossible for the ball to bounce back and the player to continue hitting the ball against the wall which is why the player is making use of Newton's Third Law.

What would happen if two people were pulling against each other with forces of 500 newtons and 600 newtons?

The person pulling with 600 newtons of force would overpower the person pulling with 500 newtons of force. The resulting net force would be 100 newtons in the direction of the person with the higher force.

What are the physics in hitting a baseball?

The batter has about 0.5 seconds to gauge the path of a pitch, and the bat must be at the right place [within about 1 cm] at the right time [within 0.01 seconds] to make solid contact. The bat-ball collision lasts typically for 0.001 seconds, and the average force on this ball is of order 10,000 Newtons, corresponding to a mass of about 1000 kg [or a ton]. The process of hitting is mysterious, but with God-given quick reflexes and many years of practice, a few players can learn to hit the ball regularly.
