Answer
Brief Explanations:
- When an object is at rest, the forces acting on it are balanced according to Newton's first - law. Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
- When an object changes its position, it is in motion.
- Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A baseball hitting a bat at the same time the bat hits the ball is an example of this law as the bat exerts a force on the ball and the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat.
Answer:
- C. balanced
- B. in motion
- B. A baseball hitting a bat at the same time the bat hits the ball.
