Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Swinging a baseball bat with different amounts of force describes which of Newton’s Laws?
A
Newton’s First Law of Motion
B
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
C
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s second law states: When a force acts on a body, the body’s momentum is changed by an amount that is proportional to the applied force and the amount of time the force acts on the body. Hitting a baseball with a bat is good example of this law.

Detailed explanation-2: -This second law demonstrates the force generated at the moment of contact is equal to the combined mass and acceleration of both the ball and bat. Hitters exploit this phenomenon in certain situations by swinging more easily to drop a hit between the infielders and outfielders.

Detailed explanation-3: -Newton’s second law states that an object will move with constant velocity until a force is exerted on it. The force at which the baseball hits the bat depends on the mass of the ball and how fast the speed of the ball changes.

Detailed explanation-4: -A bat hits a baseball with of force. How much force does the baseball exert on the bat? Explanation: Newton’s third law states that when object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction on object A.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a baseball is thrown or hit, the resulting motion of the ball is determined by Newton’s laws of motion. From Newton’s first law, we know that the moving ball will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by external forces.
