Question

1. a baseball player hits a baseball with a bat, causing it to fly across the field. three actions occur during this event. select the law of motion that best corresponds to each action that occurred. - choose the correct answer - the ball moves toward the batter at a constant velocity. the ball hits the bat and then flies in the opposite direction. the ball moves with an acceleration that depends on the force applied by the batter and the mass of the ball. - choose the correct answer - newtons 1st law newtons 2nd law newtons 3rd law clear all

Explanation:

Newton's 1st law is about an object moving with constant velocity in the absence of a net - force. Newton's 2nd law relates acceleration to force and mass ($F = ma$). Newton's 3rd law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball hits the bat and then flies in the opposite direction, this is an example of Newton's 3rd law as the bat exerts a force on the ball and the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat. When the ball moves with an acceleration that depends on the force applied by the batter and the mass of the ball, this is Newton's 2nd law. When the ball moves toward the batter at a constant velocity (before being hit), this is related to Newton's 1st law.

Answer:

The ball moves toward the batter at a constant velocity - Newton's 1st Law
The ball moves with an acceleration that depends on the force applied by the batter and the mass of the ball - Newton's 2nd Law
The ball hits the bat and then flies in the opposite direction - Newton's 3rd Law
