Question

A teacher is demonstrating acceleration to his class by throwing two balls. He throws both balls using the same amount of force in the same direction. The first ball he throws has a mass of 0.1 kg and the second ball has a mass of 0.5 kg. Explain why.
Responses

The balls will have equal acceleration because they are being thrown in the same direction.
The balls will have equal acceleration because they are being thrown in the same direction.

The first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have less acceleration than the second ball.
