It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. One event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could.

When it was the child's turn, he had to throw a baseball instead. The event coordinator said, "It's only fair!" Based on Newton's laws, was this event fair?

Answer:

Based on Newton's Law, the event is not fair because the ball which have large mass and have less acceleration will have less displacement if both the balls are thrown with same force.

Explanation:

Size of basketball is bigger than the size of baseball and the mass of basketball is greater than the mass of baseball.

We know from Newton's second law

F= m\times a

or

a=\frac{F}{m}

from above equation it is clear that ball with higher mass will have less acceleration if force is constant.

and if acceleration is less than according to Newtons second equation of motion, displacement of ball can be given as

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

From above equation it is clear that the ball which have large mass and have less acceleration will have less displacement if both the balls are thrown with same force.

Based on Newton's Law, the event is not fair because:

<span>No, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.
