Correct answer: B. 3rd law of motion

  • A. 2nd law of motion
  • B. 3rd law of motion
  • C. 1st law of motion
  • D. Law of gravity

Explanation

Newton's third law states that every force has an equal and opposite force Since the force of the ball equals , the force of the racket must be equal and opposite.

About Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
