Question

Annie has a soccer ball and a kickball. She kicks each ball with the same force. The soccer ball accelerates at 3 m/s2, and the kickball accelerates at 5 m/s2.
Use Newton’s laws to describe why the kickball has a greater acceleration.

Answer 1

Answer:

a= F/m

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion : It states that that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and it takes place on the direction of the force applied.

Mathematically,

F = m ( v-u)/t

F = ma

a = F/m

The same force was applied to each of the balls yet, the acceleration of one was greater than the other. The kickball accelerated at a greater pace than the soccer ball because it has a lesser mass hence the effect or impact of the force applied will be greatly felt by the kickball.

Answer 2

Answer:

F=ma

a=F/m

Explanation:

I got it right
