When a bat hits a ball the velocity and direction change radically. A force has to be exerted on the ball by the bat for acceleration to occur. This demonstrates Newton's second law f is equal to mass times acceleration.

How much force does a ball exert on the bat if it is hit with a force of 8 newtons?

The ball exerts an equal and opposite force of 8 newtons on the bat, according to Newton's third law of motion. So, the force exerted by the ball on the bat is also 8 newtons.


Two people push on a ball from opposites sides One exerts a force of 80 newtons and the other exerts a force of 60 newtons What is the size of the net force?

The net force is calculated by subtracting the smaller force from the larger force: 80 N - 60 N = 20 N. Therefore, the net force acting on the ball is 20 newtons.


What is the weight in newtons of a 9.5 kg bowling ball?

The weight of a 9.5 kg bowling ball can be calculated using the formula: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the weight of a 9.5 kg bowling ball is about 93.95 Newtons.


What is the acclelerationof a 0.30 kilogram ball that is hit with a force of 25 newtons?

To find the acceleration of the ball, you need to use Newton's Second Law, which states that acceleration is equal to the force applied divided by the mass of the object. In this case, the acceleration of the 0.30 kilogram ball that is hit with a force of 25 Newtons would be 83.3 m/s^2.


What happen to the ball when you stop hitting it?

When you stop hitting the ball, it loses the kinetic energy transferred from the impact and gradually slows down due to friction with the surrounding air and surface. Eventually, the ball comes to a stop as its kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy like heat and sound.

What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.

When a tennis player practice by hitting the ball against the wallwhich of newtons laws of motion is the player making use of?

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.

How does Newtons Laws apply to volleyball?

well if you don't hit the ball on time it will hit the ground and the opponent team will score anyways isn't the part when the ball hits the ground gravity, Newton discovered gravity.
