Answer:
B. Newton's second law of motion
Explanation:
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
[tex] Net \; Force = mass * acceleration [/tex]
Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] Acceleration = \frac {Net \; Force}{Mass} [/tex]
In this scenario, the acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the ball. Thus, this example best illustrates Newton's second law of motion.
