Question

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, Jim can throw a _____ farther than a _____. tennis ball, basketball can of soda, liter bottle of soda chair, couch all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

If a certain force is applied on objects of different mass, the lighter object will travel farther and faster. All the options in the question have pairs where one object is lighter than other.

So, Jim can throw a tennis ball farther than a basketball. Jim can throw a can of soda farther than a liter bottle of soda and he can throw a chair farther than a couch.

Answer 2

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, Jim can throw a tennis ball farther than a basketball. The rest of the choices do not answer the question above.
