Question

newton described three laws of motion. on the table below check the box to indicate which scenario is an example of newtons 3rd law that states that for every action or force, there is an equal or opposite reaction.
the harder you swing a bat, the farther the ball will travel
a ball sits on a tee until you hit it with a bat
when a bat hits a ball off of a tee, the bat slows down
when whirling a ball on a string in a circular path, if the string were to break the ball would fly off. which of newtons 3 laws of motion applies to the direction the ball will fly?
a swimmer pushes water back with her arms but her body moves forward.
when the force on a car is doubled, the acceleration is doubled.
an automobile you are riding in suddenly stops, but you continue to go forward.
you push against the floor when you walk and the floor pushes back on you.

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd Law states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We check each scenario for this principle. When a bat hits a ball and slows down, the ball exerts a force on the bat (reaction to bat's action). A swimmer pushing water back and moving forward shows action - water pushed back, reaction - swimmer moves forward. When walking, pushing against the floor and the floor pushing back is also an example of action - reaction.

Answer:

When a bat hits a ball off of a tee, the bat slows down
A swimmer pushes water back with her arms but her body moves forward.
You push against the floor when you walk and the floor pushes back on you.
