• The baseball player applied an equal but opposite force to the ball making the forces balanced. The ball will stop moving.
• The baseball batter applied a force to the ball in the opposite direction it was traveling. So the ball reverses direction.
• The baseball batter applied no force to the ball. So the ball will reverse direction.
• The baseball batter applied a force to the ball in the same direction it was traveling. So the ball will travel faster.
