A pitcher throws a ball toward a player holding a softball bat. The player uses the bat to hit the ball. The bat applies a 10 newton force to the ball. Which statement correctly describes the reaction force between the bat and the ball?
the reaction force is the force that causes the ball to move toward the bat
the reaction force is the force applied to the bat by the player holding the bat
the reaction force is the force that pulls the ball toward the ground
the reaction force is the force of the ball on the bat
moving at a constant speed
accelerating
moving toward the north
stopped

the proposed law will protect the lake because plant roots between the wetland and the lake will stop pollution from entering th elake
the proposed law ill not protect the lake because animals that live in or near the lake will add pollution to the lake
the proposed law will not protect the lake because groundwater will carry pollution from the weland directly into the lake
the proposed law will protect the lake because the high elevation of the water table will block pollution from entering the lake

in the mitochondria
What are the main functions of the human skeletal system?
to support the body, protect the organs, produce blood cells, and store calcium
to regulate the composition of bodily fluids by removing metabolic wastes and retaining a balance of water, salt, and other nutrients
to regulate and maintain bodily functions by producing hormones and releasing them into the bloodstream
to enable the diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream and the removal of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream
Researchers are studying lichens growing on trees in a forest ecosystem. At the beginning of the study, the researchers identified twelve lichen species in the forest. Later, a forest fire happened in the study area. The researchers returned to the area and found only six lichen species. Which inference is best supported from the researcher's observations?
most lichen species are unaffected by forest fire
the biodiversity in a forest increases after a fire
certain lichen species are better adapted to survive forest fires than others
forest fires will permanently remove certain species from the ecosystem
