Which of Newtons laws applies in the context of one cricket ball being hit only 10 metres, but another cricket ball being hit for six over the top of the grandstand?Group of answer choicesThe rate of change in motion of a body is proportional to the force causing it, and the change takes place in the direction in which the force acts.For every force that is exerted by one body on another, there is an equal and opposite force exerted by the second body on the first.Every body continues in its state of rest or motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by external forces exerted upon it.None of the answers given

Solution

The law that applies in this context is "The rate of change in motion of a body is proportional to the force causing it, and the change takes place in the direction in which the force acts." This is Newton's Second Law of Motion. It explains that the distance the cricket ball travels (its change in motion) is directly related to the amount of force applied to it. If more force is applied (like in the case of the ball being hit over the grandstand), the ball will travel a greater distance.

You are performing a physics experiment in the school gym. Your experiment uses two objects: a bowling ball and a basketball. These are the same size and shape, but the bowling ball is much heavier than the basketball. You take the balls to one side of the gym. Each ball starts off standing still. You then roll the balls towards the other side of the gym, applying the same amount of force to each ball. Assuming the gym floor is frictionless, conclude which ball will reach the far side of the gym first. Justify your answer using Newton's Second Law of motion.
