Question

A ball hits a wall. What is true about the magnitude of the force experienced by the ball compared with the force experienced by the wall

Answer 1

The magnitude is equal for both the ball and the wall because newtons third law of motion states that for every force applied, there is an equal force in the opposite direction.

Answer 2

both the force must be of same magnitude but in opposite in direction

Step-by-step explanation:

When ball hit the wall the force by which ball will push the wall is given as normal force during the contact with the wall

so here As per Newton's III law we know that force of interaction between wall and the ball will follow the same as per which every action has equal and opposite reaction force

So here we have

force applied by ball on the wall must be same as that of force applied by wall on the ball.

So both the force must be of same magnitude but in opposite in direction
