Question

Annie has a soccer ball and a kickball she kicks each ball with the same force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m/s to the second power and the kickball accelerates at 5 m/s to the second power Use Newtons laws to describe why the kickball has a greater acceleration

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of less weight kick ball has more acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration of kick ball:

5 m/s

Acceleration of soccer ball:

3 m/s

Newton's second law:

According to newton's second law the acceleration of object depends upon two variables.

1) Mass of object

2) Force acting on it

Mathematical expression:

a = f/m

a = acceleration

f = force

m = mass

The force on balls are same thus the acceleration is depend upon the masses of balls.

The soccer ball has more weight that's why its acceleration is less while kick ball is lighter and thus its acceleration will more.
