Question

Why does it take more effort to make a bowling ball accelerate 25m/s^2 than to make a tennis ball accelerate 25m/s^2? Make sure to include witch law explains this.

Answer 1

Answer:

In explanation

Explanation:

This question can be explained by using Newton Second Law of motion:

$F = ma$

where,

F = Force applied

m = mass of object

a = acceleration of object

We are given a constant acceleration of 25 m/s² in case of both bowling ball and tennis ball.

Therefore,

$F = (25m/s^2) m$

It is clear from this equation that for constant acceleration, the force required for the object is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

Since, the mass of bowling ball is greater than the tennis ball. Therefore, bowling ball takes more effort than tennis ball to accelerate to 25 m/s²
