Question

Annie has a soccer ball and a cake ball she kicks each ball with the same Force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m per second squared and the kickball accelerates at 5 m per second squared use Newton's law to describe why the kickball has a greater acceleration

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration will be greater in the kickball than the soccer ball since the kick ball has a smaller mass and provided they are acted upon with equal force magnitude.

Explanation:

We can prove this by substituting with numerical values.

Say the force she kicked both balls with was 30 N. The mass of the soccer ball is 10kg and the mass of the kickball is 6kg.

Applying Newtons Second Law, F = ma

For the soccer ball:

30 = 10a
a = 30/10
a = 3

For the kickball:

30 = 6a
a = 30/6
a = 5

Hence the kickball will travel with a greater acceleration given the same force is acted upon and has a smaller mass than the soccer ball

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)
