Twoo bowling balls of different masses collide while accelerating at 1.875 m/s 2 . The first ball, rolling to the right, weighs 7 kg. The second ball, rolling to the left, weighs 4 kg. What force does the bowling ball weighing 7 kg exert on the bowling ball weighing 4 kg?(1 point) Responses 7.5 N to the left 7.5 N to the left 13.125 N to the right 13.125 N to the right 8.875 N to the right 8.875 N to the right 3.73 N to the right

To solve this problem, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force exerted on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = m*a).

Let's consider the first ball, weighing 7 kg. The force exerted on this ball can be calculated by multiplying its mass by the acceleration:
F1 = 7 kg * 1.875 m/s^2
F1 = 13.125 N to the right

Now, let's consider the second ball, weighing 4 kg. Since it is rolling in the opposite direction (to the left), we have to take its mass as negative:
F2 = -4 kg * 1.875 m/s^2
F2 = -7.5 N to the left

Therefore, the bowling ball weighing 7 kg exerts a force of 13.125 N to the right on the bowling ball weighing 4 kg. The correct response is 13.125 N to the right.
