The correct response is:
The ball with the higher mass moved the cup a greater distance.
This is typically because a heavier ball has more momentum, which can translate into a greater ability to impart force onto the cup, resulting in more distance moved. However, the specific outcomes can depend on various factors including the initial velocity of the balls, the surface interaction, and other conditions of the experiment or scenario being observed.
I apologize for any confusion in my earlier response. The correct relationship between mass and movement can depend on the context of the experiment you are referring to.
In general terms, if two balls of different masses are rolled toward a cup and the same force is applied to both, the more massive ball might indeed have more momentum, which could cause it to move the cup further. However, if the balls are identical in material, shape, and size, then the distance moved by the cup could be similar for both.
If you have more specific details about the experiment, such as the context or method used, I'd be happy to clarify further! Please confirm the conditions or if you seek a specific interpretation.
Based on the typical physics principles, the answer to the question should be:
The ball with the higher mass moved the cup a greater distance.
This is generally true because a more massive ball can impart more force upon impact, leading to greater movement of the cup. However, please note that the actual results can vary based on the specifics of the experiment, such as the initial velocities of the balls, how they were rolled or thrown, and other factors. If your context suggests otherwise or if you have specific experimental results, please let me know!
