The difference in the throws can be explained by the concepts of mass and speed and their relationship to kinetic energy. In the first throw with the 16-pound shot, the higher mass results in more kinetic energy being transferred to the shot, allowing it to travel a shorter distance. In the second throw with the 12-pound shot, the shot has less mass but is thrown at a higher speed, resulting in more kinetic energy and a longer distance traveled.
