When a bat hits a bowling ball, what can be expected?

• The bat will experience a force in the opposite direction

• The bat will break without any force

• The bat will experience a force in the same direction

• The bat will not experience any force

According to Newton's Third Law, what happens when object A exerts a force on object B?

• Object B exerts a smaller force on object A

• Object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A

• Object B exerts a larger force on object A

• Object B exerts no force on object A

What happens when you push your friend while skating?

• Neither of you moves

• You move in opposite directions

• You both move in the same direction

• Only your friend moves

Why do forces that come in pairs not cancel each other out?

• They are not opposite in direction

• They are always acting on the same object

• They are not equal in magnitude

• They are always acting on different objects

In the context of Newton's Third Law, what happens when a fish uses its tail to push water backward?

• The water does not exert any force on the fish

• The water exerts a forward force on the fish

• The water exerts a backward force on the fish

• The water exerts a downward force on the fish

When jumping, what force does the ground exert on you?

• A sideways force
