I believe it would be due to the weight and/or friction.
Answer:
A it takes less force to stop the 1 kg ball because it has less inerita
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Snell's law, which states

where

is the refractive index of the first medium

is the angle of incidence

is the refractive index of the second medium

is the angle of refraction
In our problem,

(refractive index of air),

and

(refractive index of carbon disulfide), therefore we can re-arrange the previous equation to calculate the angle of refraction:

From which we find
Answer:
Explanation:
PE = mgh where m is the mass in kg, g is the pull of gravity which is 9.8, and h is the height of the object above the point to which it could possibly fall, measured in meters. Plugging in:
PE = 10(9.8)(20) so
PE = 1960 J
This should be rounded to 1 sig fig according to the rules of sig fig and your numbers here, but I imagine you're not following them all that much. It should be 2000 J
