During a golf game, the ball is hit forward with 500 N of force using a golf club. According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what is the force of the golf ball on the club?

A.
The golf club exerted a forward force of 500 N on the golf ball. This activated a 500 N force of inertia from the golf ball to the golf club.

B.
The golf club exerted a forward force of 500 N on the golf ball, so the golf ball exerted a backward force of 500 N on the golf club.

C.
The golf club exerted an attractive force of 500 N on the golf ball, so the golf ball exerted a repulsive force of 500 N on the golf club.

D.
To determine the force on the golf ball, the force of 500 N by the golf club must be multiplied by gravity to get 4900 N.

Answer:

B. The golf club exerted a forward force of 500 N on the golf ball, so the golf ball exerted a backward force of 500 N on the golf club.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that:

"for every object A that exerts a force on another object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

If we apply this law to this case, we can imagine object A being the golf club while object B being the golf ball, therefore if the golf club exerts a forward force of 500 N on the ball, then the ball must exert a force of equal magnitude (500 N) and opposite direction (backward) on the golf club.
