Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. How is this law demonstrated when a ballplayer hits a baseball with a bat?

The force created by the bat is equal to the length of the swing.

The mass and acceleration of the ball depend on the reaction of the batter.

The force of the bat on the ball is equal to the force of the ball on the bat.

The batter must put the same amount of force on the bat as the pitcher does on the ball.
