Question

If equal force were applied to a basketball and a baseball which would travel further according to newtons 2nd law of motion

Answer 1

Most likely the baseball because it weighs less therefore with the same force it will go further due to the fact it weighs less it would be easier to apply force and the less it weighs there is also less force acting upon it.

Answer 2

Newton's laws say nothing about how far an object will go. In fact, his first law of motion says that it will just keep going until there's some force acting in it to make it slow down or turn.

The 2nd law says that equal forces on two objects will ACCELERATE the one with less mass at a greater rate. I guess that's the baseball.
